LEAP Statement on Monterey Park & Half Moon Bay Shootings
As a Southern California based organization, it is with heavy hearts that the LEAP board and staff send our deepest condolences and sympathies to the families of the victims of these two horrific shootings in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay over the holiday weekend. We also wish for the swift recovery of the nine victims in Monterey Park and the one victim in Half Moon Bay.
LEAP shares the collective grief of many Americans and local communities who are tired of yet another act of senseless violence. While the shootings are still being investigated, I want to remind our Asian and Pacific Islander community members that we are resilient, and for all, we encourage and support healing, kindness, and understanding.
