From Mark: We stand in solidarity with Asian American Pacific Islander Communities

At Caminar, we stand in solidarity with Asian American Pacific Islander communities and condemn the discrimination and increase in violence against them in the Bay Area and across our nation, including the fatal shootings that took place in Atlanta on Tuesday evening. We strongly condemn racism, xenophobia, and bias-motivated behavior and violence of any kind.   

The actions against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders challenge the health and well-being of our Asian American/Pacific Islander colleagues, neighbors, and friends. There can be no community well-being without all members of the community feeling respected and protected. As an organization, we pledge to support our AAPI staff, clients, and community by becoming aware of how structural racism continues and stand in support and allyship to end the hatred. 

Below are some links to understand, educate, and engage with anti-racism resources in solidarity with the Asian American Pacific Islander communities.
