Brave Space:
A Mental Health Check-in
organized by NAAAP Atlanta 

 
Dear NAAAP family and friends -

It's with heavy hearts that the National Association of Asian American Professionals mourns the loss of 8 lives in Atlanta, including that of 6 Asian women. Let's recognize that anti-Asian violence is real, pervasive, and unfortunately not new.  Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, Asians and Asian Americans have experienced a 150% increase in reported hate crimes. 

NAAAP Atlanta invites all of you to a Brave Space: A Mental Health Check-in tonight at 6:30 p.m. EDT.  Registration will close at 5:30 p.m. EDT.

In the face of this escalating violence towards Asian Americans, know that NAAAP will not be bystanders to the acts of hate and racism. We urge government authorities and all community leaders to be vigilant and vocal in denouncing anti-Asian violence.

In February, NAAAP National stated, “We...recognize that the pain and loss that Asian Americans are experiencing is not isolated from the suffering of other communities of color. We must proactively work together towards finding justice for members of all communities, while coming together to act as a unified, humane people”.

Tonight, please come together with NAAAP Atlanta, other NAAAP chapters, and allies across North America.

Thank you.  Please remain safe. Please speak up.  Please reach out. 

Also, on Thursday, 3/18 at 10 a.m. EDT, the House Judiciary Committee will be holding a hearing on Discrimination and Violence Against Asian Americans. Members of Congress and the leaders of Asian Americans Advancing Justice and Asian Pacific Policy and Planning Council will vocalize what our communities have been experiencing not only in incidents of interpersonal violence but also through structural and institutional racism.
