On the heels of the anti-Asian hate crimes bill passing the US Senate with a near unanimously vote, Holland organizers and residents held a rally against racism directed to the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. Organizers said the event was to provide a space for healing and reflection over the recent rise of discrimination and hate crimes faced by Asian Americans over the course of the pandemic.
