Rallies planned for Lower Mainland by Burnaby woman standing up to anti-Asian hate

A coalition founded in B.C. by a woman committed to stopping anti-Asian racism across Canada says it is planning 15 small rallies across B.C.’s Lower Mainland Monday to denounce anti-Asian hate and foster inclusiveness.

The majority of the rallies, which will involve groups of five people standing physically distanced from one another with signs, will take place at 3 p.m. PT outside SkyTrain stations.
