ACP  Statement on Anti-Asian Hate Crime

ACP Foundation condemns in the strongest of terms the recent violent acts of racism and hate crimes committed against Asian Americans (AAPI) across the United States. The AAPI’s have made indelible contributions in building a strong and vibrant America, and yet today we continue to confront the long legacy of exclusion and discrimination. In the past year, attacks and hate crimes against AAPI, especially the most vulnerable groups among the APPI communities, have been growing rapidly throughout the country. 

We are horrified and heartbroken by the senseless massacre of eight innocent people, including six women of Asian descent, in the Atlanta area on March 16, 2021. While we await the facts and the official determination of a motive of the deadly Atlanta shootings, there is real fear among the AAPI communities in the DFW area and throughout the country. The AAPI communities in the country are in real crisis as attacks and hate crimes against AAPI have been growing nationally. An attack and hatred against any one group is also hatred and attacks against the fundamental principles of a fair and just society.

ACP Foundation stands in solidarity with other local communities to call on our local and national leaders to condemn anti-Asian hatred and violence. At this time of crisis, it is more important for Americans of all faiths and ethnicities to stand together to do everything in our power to put an end to hate and help one another.  We demand strong and bold actions from the legislative and judicial departments at the local, state, and federal levels to stop hate crimes and protect the AAPI communities and all vulnerable populations that are potential targets of hate crimes.

达拉斯美中专业人士协会声明

达拉斯美中专业人士协会（ACP Foundation）对近期在美国各地连续发生的针对亚裔的仇恨犯罪事件表示强烈的谴责。

亚裔美国人在美国的社会及历史中做出了不可磨灭的贡献，然而在过去的一年里却不断发生袭击亚裔，特别是攻击亚裔弱势群体，甚至凶杀案件的发生。我们不仅要问当今的美国社会为什么会容忍这样的仇恨事件接二连三的发生。

近期发生在亚特兰大地区的枪击事件，祸及到六名无辜的亚裔妇女，震惊到美国社会，尤其是亚裔社区。我们对于这个事件的影响，乃至今后可能发生的类似案件表示极大的担忧。仇恨事件无论是针对哪个族裔的案件都是对现代文明社会的挑战，是对公平公正公义的践踏。

达拉斯美中专业人士协会呼吁亚裔各社区团体相互团结，彼此合作，加强自我防护措施。并向当地议会，州议会乃至联邦议会传达我们的呼声和要求，强烈要求各级立法、司法部门积极应对，预防并有效制止仇恨事件的发生，切实保护所有美国公民的生命和财产安全。

我们达拉斯美中专业人士协会对UCA在３月20日晚举办的悼念活动表示声援和支持，并希望所有协会会员积极参与，藉以纪念逝去的无辜生命。让美国社会远离仇恨，让人们彼此关爱！
