‘We are done’: Rally decries wave of anti-Asian hate crimes in the Bay Area
SAN JOSE Recounting the harassment, discrimination and racism Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have endured for decades in the Bay Area, elected officials, community leaders and residents rallied in front of San Jose City Hall on Saturday to decry a wave of hate crimes that have rocked the region in recent months.
“It’s about making sure there’s visibility on this issue,” said Assemblymember Evan Low, a Democrat, who said many hate incidents against Asian and Pacific Islander residents are never reported to the police.
