The Athens Anti-Discrimination Movement is holding a rally this weekend in response to the dramatic rise of violence against the Asian community across the country. NPR has reported more than 3,800 instances of discrimination and violence against Asians in just the past year, including the recent shooting of 6 women of Asian descent in Atlanta.
Mokah Jasmine Johnson, the president of the AADM, says this is a time for all marginalized communities to join together to bring about change. She and others say the Atlanta shootings should be considered a hate crime.
