With the book and comics industry, we stand with the Asian American Pacific Islander members of our communities – bookstore and comic shop owners, staff and families, creators and authors, readers and fans – to condemn hate. We mourn the lives taken. We stand against racism, xenophobia, and discrimination in all its forms.
As part of these communities of storytellers, we have always relied on the power of narrative. We all have a responsibility to educate ourselves and to work to make a difference.
