SDN is horrified and deeply saddened by the murder of eight people in Atlanta, six of them Asian women. This violence follows thousands of racist incidents directed against Asian Americans, many of them women, during this year and throughout US history. SDN stands in solidarity with the Asian American Pacific Islander community and condemns racism, misogyny and gun violence—all at the root of this latest tragic act of domestic terrorism in Georgia.  We are committed to presenting images on the SDN website and in ZEKE magazine of stories that promote understanding, tolerance, dignity and gender and racial equity. #StopAsianHate
