WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Saturday’s threat of rain did little to deter the crowd that gathered outside of West Lafayette’s Sonya L. Margerum City Hall, a group who came together to protest and rally against Asian hate and discrimination around the country.
The rally, organized by members of West Lafayette’s Chinese community, partnered with the city of West Lafayette, YWCA Greater Lafayette, Purdue Student Government and Greater Lafayette Immigrant Allies.
The crowd of over 100 people listened to speeches from advocates including West Lafayette Mayor John Dennis and City Council member Gerald Thomas. Purdue Student Government President Assata Gilmore read a statement from City Council member and Purdue student Shannon Kang, who was not at the rally.
