A couple days ago a SDSU Filipinx student organization, AB Samahan, experienced racist harassment during a Zoom meeting. LASSO stands in solidarity with AB Samahan in denouncing the xenophobia and racism they, and many AAPI, have encountered throughout the COVID-19 outbreak. Hate and bigotry must be denounced wherever we see it--on SDSU campus and in our virtual congregations.
