Over the weekend protests against anti-Asian violence took place across the country in response to the killing of eight people — six of whom were women of Asian descent — in three spas around Atlanta. The protests also addressed the broader context of anti-Asian rhetoric and violence, which has increased since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
