The Minnesota Public Health Association (MPHA) supports the concern expressed in the Letter from the Director of the Council of Asian Pacific Minnesotans Regarding the Atlanta Shooting. Anti-Asian hate crimes in 16 of America’s largest cities increased 149% since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Bigotry and racism toward Asian Americans are unacceptable. MPHA stands in solidarity with these communities and embraces the richness of diversity from all populations.
