Stop Asian-American & Pacific Islander Hate
At Holistic, we are deeply saddened by the recent increase in anti-Asian hate crimes and rhetoric. These senseless and unacceptable acts, fueled by the pandemic, cannot be tolerated. We wholeheartedly condemn this bigotry. We acknowledge that these events are not new phenomena and we are dedicated to being a part of the change toward understanding and compassion. It is important that, in moments like this, we reaffirm the importance of uplifting and supporting marginalized voices in the fight to create a more equitable society. We remain committed to continuing our education on these matters and taking action in support of our Asian colleagues, partners, and the greater Asian-American & Pacific Islander community. We hope you will join us in that mission.
