On March 20, hundreds of protesters gathered for the ‘Stop Asian Hate' March in Logan Square to rally against a recent spike in hate crimes targeting the Asian-American community.

The issue of racism against Asians in the U.S. isn’t new, but it has become more serious after a string of shootings in Atlanta and other attacks against Asians throughout the country.

Protesters call for recognition of the lives of Asians and Americans from all different backgrounds: in this image, a protester holds a sign that says “Asian Lives Matter” in English, Japanese, Cantonese, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, and more.

Signs displayed at a gathering in Horner Park on March 26 state the names of the two non-Asian victims who were killed by a gunman in Atlanta on March 16.

Hundreds attended the gathering to mourn the eight victims.

Mourners, including children, lit candles in remembrance of the victims.

At the end of the march, hundreds gathered at a rally in Chinatown Square, where community leaders and public officials gave speeches and pledged their solidarity.
