Event Description:
Join us in solidarity for the 2022 National Day of Action Against Anti-Asian Racism where we will rally to stand up to racism and racially-motivated hate, in all forms, which is prevalent and impacts all racialized communities. This is an important event as Asian communities all over the world have been deeply impacted by the significant surge of anti-Asian racism in the last few years.

We will gather at 11:30am at the City Hall front steps. At 12:00pm, Councillor Anne Stevenson for Ward O-day’min will officially proclaim May 10 as the National Day of Action Against Anti-Asian Racism on behalf of Mayor Amarjeet Sohi. At 12:30pm the group will then walk to Pacific Rim Mall at 10512-97 Street, where there will be an open mic for members of the community to share experiences and impacts of racism, hate and discrimination. The program will end around 1:45pm to 2:00pm. There will be designated volunteers on site to ensure participant safety and to help as required during the walk.
