Candlelight Vigil: Victims Of Anti-Asian Hate Crime

Candlelight Vigil: Victims Of Anti-Asian Hate Crime

Friday, March 19, 2021

AZ State Capital Lawn

1700 W. Washington St. Phoenix, AZ 85007

Join us to mourn and discuss the current hate and violence committed to our Asian American and Pacific Islander community. On March 16, 2021, eight people were killed in Georgia during a mass shooting targeting Asian American women, which is the most recent occurrence. We will have a moment of silence to pay respect to each of the victims.

We will be meeting at the State Capitol on the lawn with live music, speakers, and a candlelight ceremony during sunset. This vigil is created to help our AAPI community heal from the rise in AAPI hate crimes within the past year. Since March 2020- December 2020, Anti-Asian hate crimes have increased 150%.

We encourage everyone to join us in solidarity with the AAPI community!
