Asian Americans are holding another rally against racism, this time Sunday in Troy, a city with a growing population of residents of Asian descent. We are asking individuals to join us, to raise our voices and speak out, said organizers in a statement by two local Asian American groups: Whenever We re Needed Detroit and Asian Pacific & Islander American Vote - Michigan.
The rally is set for 2 to 5 p.m. outside Troy City Hall off of Big Beaver Road. Troy is Oakland County s largest city and 26% Asian American, according to the 2019 U.S. Census.
This is the fifth Asian American rally held in metro Detroit since the Atlanta shooting March 16 in which six Asian American women and two others were killed. Other rallies have been held in Detroit, Royal Oak, and Ann Arbor. Even before the Atlanta incident, there was rising concern about anti-Asian attacks over the past year.

Rory Gamble
, who took over a UAW rocked with a corruption scandal and facing an uncertain future just 15 months ago, said this week that not only did he prove his skeptics and doubters wrong, but he s proud to be turning over a clean union to his successor in 2022.
Gamble took over the top spot in November 2019
from Gary Jones, one of two now-disgraced former UAW presidents awaiting sentencing in the corruption scandal that rocked the 400,000-member union. Fifteen people, including both former UAW officials and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles executives, have been convicted. My administration was met with a lot of skepticism. There were a lot of articles written about things I was doing along the way that said it was too little, too late and the UAW was pretty much dead and you can write them off, Gamble said this week in a video interview with the Automotive Press Association in Detroit, his first with the group since becoming president.
