CLTA-WA Statement on Anti-Asian Violence

#StopAsianHate

CLTA-WA Board

The United States has seen increasing crimes committed against Asian Americans going about their daily lives. Asian businesses are increasingly vandalized; individual Asians are harassed, threatened, and struck; even the elderly are not spared from attacks on public streets.

We officers, board of directors, and members of the Chinese Language Teachers Association–Washington (CLTA-WA), denounce anti-Asian violence and systemic racism against Asian Americans and Asian American communities wherever and whenever it occurs.

We pledge to continue and re-double our work to build bridges of understanding through promoting Chinese language and culture in the fight against irrational hatred of Asian Americans.

CLTA-WA stands with teachers, students, and families against all forms of racial discrimination and violence.  We condemn anti-Asian violence in all its forms and stand in solidarity with the AAPI community.
