WATCH: Mariko Yamada, MSW, Former CA State Assemblymember, Speak Out Against Anti-Asian Racism

Watch the video of Mariko Yamada, MSW, former CA State Assemblymember, speaking out against anti-Asian racism, hate and violence.

Speak out if an elected representative or law enforcement official diminishes anti-Asian hate by saying things like the Atlanta spa killer was just having “a bad day.”

Words matter, actions matter, speak up if anyone at your workplace says racist things no matter how minor or casting it as a “joke.”

Support people of color by listening, believing, and advocating for change.
