The Taskforce on Anti-Racism as Spiritual Transformation
The Taskforce on AntiRacism as Spiritual Transformation denounces the hate speech and acts of violence against the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community that have contributed to our country's legacy, growth, and cultural life. Their service in the medical field and healthcare field as professionals and first responders has supported our health. Their contributions to education, business, science, the military, and to the arts have enriched our lives. We call for justice and honoring the dignity of every individual and we stand in solidarity with families, victims, and all who have suffered the irrational hateful speech and actions that have caused injury and harm to the innocent.

We call on our Immaculate Heart Community and all who walk with us:
• To honor the inherent dignity and infinite worth of all members of the Asian American and Pacific Island community, as well as all persons of color. • To study and learn about our tragic history of prejudice and racism inflicted on our AAPI sisters and brothers, beginning here in California, and how it continues to this day. • We urge our local, state and national leaders and officials to educate the public on the effect of violence and to promote support for the well-being of all people of color. The Immaculate Heart Community is a Christian community, called to live the Gospel values of peace and to work for justice.
