On March 17th, 2021 we arose to the horrifying news that 8 people, including 6 Asian women, were murdered by a white man in Georgia. While this news was and is sickening, it is sadly, not shocking.
Last week’s attack comes at a time of increased violence against the AAPI community in the United States, with anti-Asian hate crimes increasing by 150% in 2020. In the wake of this abhorrent inhumanity, Ceres stands in solidarity with the AAPI community. We mourn with you and remain fervently beside you in the fight to end systemic racism.
Ceres is steadfast in our vision to create a just and inclusive society. We are committed to using our voice and influence to root out racism and discrimination in every aspect of our work. That is the only way forward.
