Walnut Creek rally brings show of unity for Asian Americans affected by violence

More than 100 people showed up Sunday evening at Walnut Creek’s Civic Park to protest recent anti-Asian violence, days after the killing of eight people at spas around Atlanta — six of them Asian women.

Activist group Indivisible ReSisters Walnut Creek organized the event, which was one of a string of weekend events in the Bay Area in response to the violence, much of which has targeted people in the area’s Asian and Pacific Islander communities over the past year.
