The Oakland Green Party (OGP) condemns  the appalling hate crimes against people of Asian descent.  OGP also condemns the use of racist rhetoric and terminology which has perpetuated anti-Asian stigma related to the COVID-19 pandemic.    

Over two  million Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are working on the frontlines in health care, law enforcement, first responders, transportation, supermarkets, and other service industries.  

OGP stands in solidarity with all who stand up and speak out against racism, xenophobia, discrimination, anti-Asian sentiment, scapegoating, and ethnic or religious intolerance.
