#CounterACTHate in #OurNeighborhoods Rally
As a coalition of Asian American and Pacific Islander organizations, we recognize that the strength of our neighborhoods and our country is its diverse people. The current climate of hate violence, religious discrimination, and anti-immigrant sentiment are counter to the communities we strive to create. This administration’s anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant policies have dragged our country backwards, and encouraged and emboldened hate against South Asian, Muslim, Sikh, and Arab American communities. We envision inclusive thriving neighborhoods, where all people can live safely in their homes and communities, regardless of their religion, race, or ethnicity. Join National CAPACD and South Asian Americans Leading Together (SAALT) as we stand together against racism, Islamophobia, and hate, and call for a safe America for all of us.
