This Isn’t Just a Problem for North America.’ The Atlanta Shooting Highlights the Painful Reality of Rising Anti-Asian Violence Around the World


Hundreds of people gathered in western Washington over the weekend to “Unite Against Hate” towards the Asian community.
A large group gathered in the rain Saturday afternoon at Bellevue’s Downtown Park for a rally and march against anti-Asian violence and to remember the victims killed in the Atlanta, Georgia attack.
Bellevue City Council members, the police chief and community members spoke during the rally.
“I think that this is about calling out the things that have been happening in our country, for so many years, so that we can actually start to recognize it, call it out and unite. Because really, racism is bad for everybody,” said Bellevue City Councilmember Janice Zahn.
