Asian American Community Rallies Against Rising Hate Crimes

Hate attacks targeting Asians and Asian Americans have surged in the United States, sparking widespread protests and triggering outrage across multiple communities. Among those deeply affected is Shirley Ng, who grew up in New York City's vibrant Chinatown in Manhattan. The tragic shooting on March 16, which claimed the lives of six Asian women, has left Ng feeling a sense of frustration, sadness, and emotional exhaustion. \"Who's going to be attacked tomorrow?\" she wonders.

Determined to make a change, Ng joined her friend's movement aimed at empowering Asian Americans through grassroots initiatives. Together, they created posters to display in the community, spreading messages on self-protection and encouraging victims and bystanders to report crimes. \"I believe that one day, when there's no racism, we can all walk freely, live in peace, and appreciate our differences,\" Ng expressed. Her vision is a world filled with love and mutual respect, where everyone can thrive without fear.
