Anti-Asian Violence – Atlanta and Beyond

3/19/2021

Dear FSU Members,

The Faculty-Staff Union expresses our grief and anger in response to the recent mass shooting in Atlanta and wishes to express solidarity with all Asian Americans and Asians who have experienced racial and gendered violence.  We understand the historical roots and contemporary manifestations of anti-Asian violence, and recognize how foundational violence towards, and exclusion of, Asian Americans and Asians is in the history of white supremacy in the United States.

For now the FSU wants above all to articulate our horror and sadness at this tragedy and urge members to reach out to us if they feel targeted or discriminated against in any way. There is much work to be done in the face of this terrible event and the FSU aspires to stand in support of those who bear the brunt of such injustice.

From the Faculty Staff Union Executive Committee
