Vancouver will be the site of simultaneous Stop Anti-Asian Hate rallies across Canada.
Karmina C o, an anti-Asian hate advocate from Burnaby, said the rally will be held on Sunday.
She is 24-years-old.
Last week, Vancouver Police said there has been a 717 per cent increase in anti-Asian hate crimes in 2020 compared to 2019.
For the first time ever, C o said she’s felt unsafe especially reading statistics and headlines over the past few months.
People will be gathering outside the Vancouver Art Gallery around 2:00 p.m.
She said: I think the local rally is a great opportunity for people of Asian descent and allies. We hope to see anyone who wants to speak against the rise of hate crimes impacting our community.
She said: I truly believe this is a chance to really bring a community together. We’re all part of the city, we’re multicultural. That’s what really makes up Canada.
She said: I’m just staying home — kind of like a birdcage feeling. I just don’t want to be out there because I just don’t know when and what will happen.
