SAG-AFTRA Statement on the Atlanta Attacks and Rising Hate Crimes Against Asian Americans

We stand with the Asian American Pacific Islander community against the on-going attacks and hate incidents fueled by racist pandemic rhetoric. There has been a disturbing rise in these abhorrent crimes targeting Asian Americans over the past year. For our AAPI #sagaftramembers: you are not invisible. We see you, we hear you and we stand beside you in unity and call on all our members to decry these vile attacks.
