Organizers of the event hoped to create a needed space for communal healing for the Santa Barbara AAPI community, and to potentially create a network of AAPI organizations and individuals that can respond together as a unified force in the face of violence.
“It was so wonderful to look around and see so many of our AAPI community coming together last Saturday, from small children to our elders. So much gratitude, love and connectedness filled the air. Salamat po-” said co-organizer Judy Guillermo-Newton.
The organizers goal is to be seen in the Santa Barbara community as a unified, vocal and committed group of your AAPI neighbors, friends, coworkers, and family members who can no longer remain silent or be silenced as expressions of anti-AAPI hate permeate the community.
