APASA Sacramento Statement on the Recent Mass Shooting at Monterey Park...
The APASA Sacramento Employee Resource Group is devastated to learn of the mass shooting that occurred last night during the beginning of Lunar New Year celebrations in the Los Angeles area. These acts of violence against the Asian and Chinese community are heartless and devastating.
UC Davis and UC Davis Health condemn all acts of violence and hate.
We are here for all of our communities, regardless of race, and continue to be a resource for our Asian and Chinese communities.
We want to take a moment to remind you that UC Davis and UC Davis Health offer the Academic and Staff Assistance Program (ASAP) to Staff, Faculty, and their immediate families. Recognizing that events such as this create a lot of pain and trauma, we also encourage you to reach out to the APASA ERG, we are here for you.
Please remain positive and supportive. Take care of yourself and preserve your own mental health. Be a cupful of hope and empathy to others who may benefit from small acts of kindness. Report inappropriate situations to authorities and call for help. We are all in this together - united we will always stand!
