GRAND RAPIDS, MI When six women of Asian descent were killed last month in shootings at three Atlanta spas, Michigan Sen. Stephanie Chang worried about the safety of other Asian-Americans.
“I remember feeling first very sad at the lives that were lost, then angry at the law enforcement response that was happening and then also just scared, worrying about safety and the safety of my parents and their generation, wondering where are the public spaces that are safe for us to be in,” Chang, D-Detroit, said at a “Stop Asian Hate” rally in Grand Rapids.
