Join more than 200 organizations in participating in a Worldwide Vigil to remember the victims of the Atlanta ShootingThe Vigil will take place at 7:30pm ET on Friday, March 26th--to unite as a community to pay respects to the eight people killed (including six women of Korean and Chinese descent), to find communal healing in the face of heightened violence that has traumatized the entire Asian American community, and to call for solidarity under a banner of anti-racism.The intersectional program will include prayers by religious leaders: Imam Abdullah Jaber (CAIR-Georgia), Monk Maya (Jun Dung Sa Temple), Mike Tai (4Pointes Church); poetry reading by Jessie Lian; singing by Adelaide Tai; and remarks by Community Leaders: Sarah Park (President, KAC Metro-Atlanta), Georgia Rep. Sam Park, Soyoung Yun, LPC, Martha Revelo, (Outreach Director, Office of U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock), Julie Katz (Assistant Director of American Jewish Committee (AJC) Atlanta), and Nsé Ufot (Chief Executive Officer, New Georgia Project).This Vigil is part of numerous events taking place on March 26th, which has been promoted as the #StopAsianHate National Day of Action and Healing by Asian American Congressional leaders and civic organizations. March 26th is significant, as it is when the first U.S. law on naturalization, the Naturalization Act of 1790, was enacted to limit citizenship to only “free, White persons.”Anti-racism is a goal that can only be achieved with the support of any and all communities that call this country home. We invite all communities, people, and allies to join us in solidarity, and to participate in the Virtual Vigil that will be livestreamed here on https://326vigil.org, using hashtag #326Vigil.REGISTER HERE: https://326vigil.orgArticle: https://news.yahoo.com/korean-leaders-plan-worldwide-vigil-for-victims-of-atlanta-shootings-180226212.html
