Our country has seen an increase in discrimination and violence against Asians, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders during the past year. Last week, the horrific murders in Atlanta, Georgia, claimed six women of Asian descent among the victims. A recent mass shooting in Boulder, Colorado, added more to the misery of unacceptable violence in our society.
The LiveWell community recognizes that the challenges that confront Asian-identified community members have deep roots in our nation’s history. We empathize with our community members who continue to experience the hurt, anxiety, uncertainty, and fear from these abhorrent acts.
LiveWell stands firmly against all forms of discrimination, racism, and hate. As we intensify our work to achieve equity, diversity, and inclusion, we find ourselves deeply indebted to those who have devoted their lives to justice. Their inspiration will continue to guide and support our work in the years ahead.
