I join our Asian American community in mourning and solidarity following
the senseless shootings in the Atlanta area last night. It’s heartbreaking and appalling to see the anti-Asian harassment,
violence, and now mass murder that has accelerated over the past year — part
of a long history of racism in America that we all must fight to end. And all too often, the most silenced members of our community — Asian
American elders and women working in invisible industries — have borne the
brunt of these attacks. The
unconscionable blaming of Asian American communities for the devastation from
this pandemic has reinforced the sense of invisibility and perpetual
foreigner status that so many of us have known our entire lives. Growing up as the daughter of immigrants from Taiwan, some of my most
vivid childhood memories involve racist encounters with strangers. People who knew nothing about me except for my appearance feeling
empowered to pull eyes into slits or chant ching chong sounds. That constant
feeling of needing to be aware, ready, on guard whenever out in public. Since before COVID-19 was spreading in the United States, Asian American
communities have been on edge, reeling from the impacts. Boston has not been immune to these incidents. In every city across the
country, we must build community to protect and celebrate our intersectional
identities. We
will stop Asian hate and combat racism by meeting this moment, by building a
city for everyone, by transforming our systems to see and value every life. Michelle
