We stand in solidarity with the Asian American community at Duke as we mourn the victims of the Atlanta massage parlor shootings. JSU is sending love and strength to our Asian American peers as we grieve, and as we stand together condemning hate and violence in all forms.

Please see the information in ASA's post below about a virtual vigil being held tonight:

We are saddened, frustrated, and angry with the news about Atlanta massage parlor shootings. We grieve with the families of the Asian women who have passed.

Our team will be working tonight to provide a reflection space and resources for our community. As we work, we want to remind ourselves to stay grounded despite isolation from our families and friends in shelter in place.

While we process, North Carolina Asian Americans Together and the UNC Asian American Center are holding a vigil in remembrance tonight at 7 pm EST. Register here: ncaatogether.org/vigil
