You are welcome to share a short statement about your thoughts and feelings about the recent shooting in Atlanta that resulted in the deaths of eight individuals. Six of these individuals were women of Asian descent. The rise in anti-Asian American violence and hateful rhetoric contributing to that violence in the United States cannot be ignored.

We welcome all to share their thoughts on this issue of anti-Asian American and Pacific Islander violence and the recent attacks. The AAPI Caucus will share these comments on its website.
