AAPI Solidarity Statement

MFS Stands in Solidarity with the AAPI Community

The rise of racism and the acts of violence we are witnessing must end.

3,795 hate incidents over the course of the past year have been reported to the Stop Asian American Hate Center – which is known to be significantly less than the number of hate crimes that actually took place.

The increase of violence, particularly against elders and women from our Asian and Pacific Islander community, is rising dramatically in our country.

We honor the following people who were murdered in Atlanta on March 16th, 2021:  Daoyou Feng, Delaina Ashley Yaun, Hyun Jung Grant, Paul Andre Michels, Soon Chung Park, Suncha Kim, Yong Ae Yue and Xiaojie Tan. (*See the Washington Post article  information about suspect and additional details)

All of this is on top of a long history of violence, injustice, and discriminatory acts committed in this country – that is seldom fully acknowledged.

MFS stands in solidarity with our Asian American Pacific Islander community.
