Asian American Federation Inc

[Started in a Clubhouse Room] The surge in anti-Asian violence in 2021, building on that in 2020 sparked by Covid, is alarming, often targeting the elderly and women. A gunman went on a shooting spree in Atlanta, murdering six Asian women and two others. A 64 year-old Vietnamese grandmother was assaulted in San Jose. On the same day a Filipino American slashed across the face on the subway. Last week, elementary teacher Matthew Leung was beaten until he got a concussion and lost a finger. Racism is maiming and killing us. Asian Americans are Americans too.
