In Opinion: For Chinese Americans, this Lunar New Year was stained with gun violence. National Gun Violence Survivors week is a time to demand accountability.
Early on Sunday, Jan. 22, I was woken up by a panicked call from a friend asking if I was OK and safe. The question was a bit disorienting. She told me there had been a shooting at a Lunar New Year celebration at Star Ballroom Dance Studio in Monterey Park. My stomach dropped, my heart shattered. Was I safe? Yes. Was I OK? Definitely not.
As the hours passed, the headlines only grew more devastating. Eleven People Shot and Killed. Nine Others Shot and Wounded. Shooter Armed with Semi-automatic Weapon. Victims of Asian Descent. Deadliest Mass Shooting Since Robb Elementary in Uvalde. Deadliest Ever in Los Angeles. I barely had time to process the trauma before news broke of another mass shooting in Half Moon Bay — closer to where I live in San Francisco — where eight people were shot, seven fatally.
We’re fortunate to have tireless gun safety champions in California, like Governor Gavin Newsom, who are willing to act to address this crisis.
