On Tuesday, March 30, at 7 p.m., WABE held a virtual community conversation hosted by reporter Lisa Hagen with leaders from Atlanta’s AAPI community including:

• Stephanie Cho, executive director at Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta
• Andrew Chang, PBA executive board member
• BJay Pak, partner at Alston and Bird & former U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Georgia
• Marian Liou, community engagement manager for Atlanta Regional Council and founder of We Love BuHi

The panelists reflected on the March 16 shootings, contributing causes and implications for the greater Atlanta community at large after a year that has seen a steep rise in violence and crimes against Asians and Asian-Americans nationwide.
