May we Gather 2024

A gathering took place on Saturday, March 16, 2024 to mark the three-year memorial of the 2021 Atlanta-area shootings, which claimed the lives of eight people, six of them women of Asian descent, including the 63-year-old Buddhist Yong Ae Yue. We remember that these shootings are woven into a broader tapestry of anti-Asian animus, religious bigotry, and injustice against women. The suffering of racial, religious, and gender violence affects us all. With palms together, we invite spiritual friends of all backgrounds to join us for national ceremony and peace walk. Together, we will recover, commemorate, and celebrate Asian American Buddhist history and strengthen interconnected ties of kinship.
