People take part in a rally against hate and confront the rising violence against Asian Americans at Columbus Park in the Chinatown section of Manhattan borough of New York, on Sunday, March 21, 2021.

This episode originally aired on March 2, 2021.

Six of the eight people killed last week in shootings at three Atlanta-area spas were Asian American women.

Across the country, weekend protests called for an end to racist violence and hate toward Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, a trend that watchdog groups say has been exacerbated by the pandemic.

Today on All Sides with Ann Fisher, we examine what the Atlanta shootings and other incidents of AAPI-targeted violence say about our society and how organizations are responding.
