ROYERSFORDÂ â Organizations and activists from throughout the region will rally Saturday in support of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have been victims of discrimination.
Called âBreaking the Silence,â the vigil will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at Victory Park, Second Avenue and Arch Street, Royersford. It will feature victims talking about how their experiences affected them. The public is invited.
The event, like several others recently in the region, had been in the planning stages in response to increasing reports of discriminatory or violent incidents targeting Asian Americans during the pandemic. But it gained momentum after the murders of Asian Americans in Atlanta.
