We showed up for the victims of the massacre in Georgia and for all Asian American communities feeling the hate.
We are hurt. We are angry. We are tired. We also know that in moments like this, we must call for action. We also need to come together to grieve and acknowledge the collective hurt and pain our community is feeling.
Some signs were utilitarian.
Others were clearly home-brewed.
Some were appropriately angry.
Some shared a lesson with a child who had their own message.

It felt novel after a year sheltering inside to be back rallying among one of my tribes, the activists who turn out in public. Several of us said to each other that we knew were acquainted with far more people present than we'd spoken with -- but couldn't identify them because of masks. This too will pass.
