In the wake of continuing anti-Asian violence and racism across the country, join the Asian Community Fund and the Boston Foundation in honoring the resilience, strength, and power of Asian American communities. We invite you to a Town Hall to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Atlanta spa shootings, reflect on progress to date, and set a vision for the path ahead. Last year’s tragedy sparked a national reckoning, fueling protests across the country, and igniting widespread calls for justice and change. The event will celebrate the leadership and contributions of local AAPI leaders, highlight the importance of multiethnic and multiracial coalition building, and discuss strategies to continue advancing equity and solidarity throughout our region.
