This resolution commemorates the 5-year anniversary of the tragic March 16, 2021, shootings in the Atlanta, Georgia, region, honoring the eight victims, many of whom were women of Asian descent and immigrants. It condemns these heinous acts of gun violence, acknowledging the racism and sexism inherent in the deliberate targeting of Asian-owned businesses and women. The resolution emphasizes the ongoing grief and trauma within communities and the need for culturally responsive mental health services. The resolution further denounces the continuing rise of anti-Asian hate, xenophobic, and anti-immigrant rhetoric, which has fueled a surge in hate crimes and contributes to ongoing community harm. It calls for strengthening hate crime reporting infrastructure and expanding federal programs, including those under the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act and the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act , to prevent and combat hate crimes. Additionally, the resolution encourages efforts to combat online hate and disinformation, promote education on Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander history, and reaffirms the federal government's commitment to protecting the civil and human rights of all people.
