Racism and physical attacks against Asian people have spread with the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020 in United States, more than 2,800 cases of assault against Asian people were registered. In moments as difficult as the ones we are living in, we must be firm in condemning racial hatred. We need more compassion, we need more empathy, we don’t need more hate.
El racismo y los ataques físicos contra las personas asiáticas y de ascendencia asiática se han propagado con la pandemia de COVID-19. Solamente en Estados Unidos durante 2020 se registraron más de 2,800 casos de agresión contra personas asiáticas. En tiempos tan difíciles como los que estamos viviendo debemos ser firmes en condenar el odio racial. Necesitamos más compresión, necesitamos más empatía, no necesitamos más odio.
In August the city of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, was devastated by major explosions, causing at least 181 deaths, 6000 injured, billions in property damage and leaving an estimated 300.000 people homeless. In its aftermath grief turned to widespread outrage with mass protests calling out the government’s corruption and dysfunction and demanding major political reforms.
