Statement Against Anti-Asian Racism
Skills for Change is horrified by the murders of six Asian women in Atlanta, Georgia, earlier this week. Our thoughts and prayers go to the family and friends of these women.We condemn all acts of hate and violence against the Asian community and we stand in solidarity with the Asian community in Canada and our clients, staff and volunteers of Asian decent, as they grieve the loss of these individuals and are impacted by the ongoing acts of verbal and physical violence.While this tragic event took place in the United States, we know very well the racial injustices and violence that happens here in Canada, and the injustices that the Asian community and other racialized groups face, every day.Skills for Change continues to be an ally to communities who have been impacted by racism, and provide supports to newcomer and racialized communities to be able to thrive in Canada.
