The named victims in Monterey park include people of Chinese, Vietnamese, and Filipino ethnicities. I talk a lot about Pan-Asian solidarity—it’s my heritage as an Asian Californian, and these elders, dancing together, were living it. #MontereyPark

Amid the devastation of the recent shooting, it is inspiring to see Asian Americans – and others – coming together to support one another and the people of #MontereyPark. If you want help, or need help, keep reading to learn how. 🧵
