A large crowd marched through downtown Mountain View Sunday to protest anti-Asian hate.
Hundreds of people took to the streets of downtown Mountain View Sunday to show support for the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, as well as to call attention to anti-Asian racism both historically and in the present day.
Protesters gathered at the Mountain View train station and marched to Mountain View City Hall, where speakers, including young people and elected officials, addressed the crowd. High school students spearheaded the event.
Los Altos High School junior Jeannette Wang volunteered to help organize the event after seeing repeated reports of anti-Asian hate incidents. Wang has friends and family members who are afraid to go outside and is fearful for her own grandparents’ safety.
