More than 100 Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community members, leaders, and allies gathered in Long Beach on September 11 at a “Reclaim Our Streets” Rally.
“We are here today to reclaim public spaces and to defend our right to live and thrive in our communities,” said Manjusha Kulkarni, Executive Director of AAPI Equity Alliance.
Asian American and other immigrant organizations warned of grave consequences after Monday’s Supreme Court ruling essentially greenlighting racial profiling.
