“Artists Against Anti-Asian Violence” is part of CCC's "We the Future" series of programming with artists and communities to combat hate, advocate for social equality, and empower change. This event is also the first of a series of solidarity events being organized by poets Chun Yu and Michael Warr through their Two Languages/One Community project.
The recent attacks on Asian elderly, murders of six Asian women among others in Georgia, and other recent anti-Asian hate crimes are a continuation of the ugly history of hatred and violence against Asians and other people of color that plagues America. We must take a strong stance in solidarity between communities and stand firmly against racism and hatred.
“藝術家回击反亞裔暴力: 雙語詩歌與音樂團結倡議活動”是舊金山中華文化中心“We the Future”系列項目之一，我們與藝術家和社區共同擁護社會公義、創建安全空間、賦權變革。此次活動同時也是詩人俞淳和邁克爾·沃爾通過他們的兩種語言／一個社群項目組織的一系列聲援活動的第一場。
最近对亞裔老人的攻擊，在佐治亞州亞六名裔女性被謀殺，以及最近發生的其他反亞裔的仇恨犯罪行為是對亞裔群體以及其他困擾美國有色人種的仇恨和暴力醜陋歷史的延續。我們必須堅定立場、團結各個社區、堅決反對任何種族歧視與仇恨。
