We are outraged and heartbroken by the murders of eight people in Georgia, including six women of Asian descent. Anti-Asian racism has deep roots in our country’s history, but should have no place in our country’s future. In these challenging times, with anti-Asian sentiment on the rise nationwide, we believe that silence itself can be a form of violence. As leaders in public media, we feel it is imperative for us to clearly state our opposition to misogyny, hatred and racism in all forms. And we join our chief executive, Jon Abbott, in extending heartfelt support for our Asian American/Pacific Islander friends and family, colleagues, staff and the communities we serve.
