ADL issued the following statement regarding the recent attack against AAPI youth on Wednesday, November 17:
We join our partners in the AAPI community in condemning this most recent, tragic attack involving youth who were riding a SEPTA train after school. We know that bias-motivated incidents, particularly where young people are involved, can have a lasting impact and cause trauma that reverberates across entire communities. We hope that in the days, weeks and months, ahead, our City will come together and work urgently towards solutions that prioritize safety for all of our communities and allow for healing and education for our young people. It’s incumbent upon all of us to #StopAsianHate.
