VP Harris called for the mobilization against a growing “epidemic of hate” following a recent wave of mass shootings targeting Black and Asian Americans. “We are witnessing again and again the terrible human cost of this hate.”
Friday marks one year since the federal government"It is impossible to celebrate and ignore that we celebrate ... at this moment in time where I do believe we are witnessing an epidemic of hate in our country," Harris said at the AAPI Victory Power Fund rally on Friday. "We only need to look at the events of the last two weeks."
"There are people who believe that America is meant only for some and not for all, who scapegoat and attack people" because of their race, ethnicity or gender, she added. "We are witnessing again and again the terrible human cost of this hate." "We know that we need to address those fissures and failures in the system that might cause a lack of accountability," she said, citing the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act's provisions such as language support.
"We must mobilize in support of the notion that a harm against any one of us is a harm against all of us. And we must organize against those who seek to incite violence ... Each of us here has an important role to play." Turning out to vote will be key to ensuring AAPI voices are heard at all levels of government, Harris noted. "It is not hyperbole to say what we do between now and November will determine the future of our nation."
