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.
