The Asian American Christian Collaborative (AACC) is committed to amplifying the voices, issues, and histories of Asian Americans, both within the church and society at large. Specifically, in this season, they have created a statement titled the “Statement on Anti-Asian Racism in the Time of COVID-19”. It says, in part: “We, the undersigned, join together as Asian American Christians and community leaders to denounce the current rise in overt anti-Asian racism throughout our country." Today, we speak with three of the drafters of this statement: Pastor Raymond Chang, Pastor Gabriel J. Catanus, and Rev. Dr. Jeff M. Liou.
