Over the weekend, numerous individuals and families prepared to celebrate Lunar New Year, a time for shared reflections and blessings for the year ahead. Tragically, however, our communities across the state and the country are now reeling from the deadly shooting in Monterey Park that took 11 lives and injured 10 others. NASW-CA shares the outrage, grief, and utter frustration that yet more lives were senselessly lost by another mass shooting. These events are shattering. The harm and murders that target and impact Asian American communities are terrifying and real. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families and communities of the victims. We encourage and call upon social workers everywhere to step in and support your clients, your communities, your colleagues, and yourselves during this time to allow space for pause and grief. Help us share and elevate the resources available to Asian American and Pacific Islander communities and allies everywhere. Now is the time to offer support and demand change. Explore our list of resources below to find mental health guidance and support.
The Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California started a GoFundMe to support the victims of the Monterey Park shooting.
