The Barnstable County Human Rights Advisory Commission (BCHRAC) joins community organizations here on Cape Cod and across the nation in condemning violence against the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. The recent violence in Georgia targeted Asian-owned businesses and lead to the death of eight people, six of whom were women of Asian descent. These acts of hate and violence must be denounced and condemned, especially when used to create an atmosphere of fear in others, based on race, color, religious creed, gender, national origin, or orientation. BCHRAC acknowledges and is thankful for the contributions of the AAPI community here on Cape Cod. BCHRAC will continue to work to promote and protect the human rights of all persons in Barnstable County.
