Hundreds of protesters gathered in Liberty Plaza outside of Atlanta, Georgia, capitol building Saturday to honor the eight people killed in this week's spa shootings in the city, with many chanting "Stop Asian hate”. This protest was formed by leaders of The Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities in less than 72 hours thanks to the help of William Lex Ham, and other local leaders.

“Let us build a state and a nation where you can register to vote the same day as an election, but you cannot buy a weapon the same day you intend to kill.”
