Stop Asian Hate: Protests Against Anti-Asian Violence in US

Subscribe
In the wake of the Atlanta shootings that left six women of Asian descent dead, people in the US have taken to the streets and gathered for rallies against anti-Asian hate crimes.

The recent surge in incidents of violence and a wave of harassment against Asian Americans has caused public uproar all across the US.

The murder of six Asian American women in Atlanta triggered a nationwide outcry and brought about a wave of outrage among people of all descent. A series of rallies and vigils have since been held in cities in Texas, California, and Massachusetts, with hundreds of Asian Americans demanding justice for what they think was a hate crime.

The so-called "Stop Asian Hate" movement emerged on social media in the form of a hashtag, calling for an end to anti-Asian violence.
