From David Sweeney, President and CEO:

"The murder of eight people yesterday in Georgia, six of them Asian American women, was an act so abhorrent that it can be hard to find the words. I am saddened for their families and the Atlanta community. Like many of us, I am shaken by the undercurrent of hate that continues to threaten our country.
