AAPI Equity Alliance and leaders from Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities are organizing, 'Reclaim Our Streets', a community rally against the raids and arrests by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the increased military presence in Los Angeles.
The Sept. 11 event, to be held at Long Beach, California, will witness diverse AAPI communities coming together for a rally and afternoon of music, food and celebration of vibrant cultures.
Addressing the multiple instances of ICE raids on immigrants, AAPI Equity Alliance said in a statement, "The harm of kidnapping of loved ones and neighbors has had a chilling effect on the economy and quality of life."
It further said, "Local actions across the city and state will call attention to missing loved ones and demand an end to the terror."
