The ECSA Executive board is devastated by the violence that happened in Atlanta, Georgia, that left eight people dead, six of whom are Asian women. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and friends of those who were lost in this tragedy. This event has highlighted and brought much-needed attention to the outburst of anti-Asian hate crimes and attacks that have taken place since the pandemic began.
The ECSA stands against racism and discrimination of any kind. We strongly believe that there is no place for it towards anyone, in the ECSA or elsewhere. We now call on you to stand with us in solidarity with our friends and family in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. We must continue to uplift all our communities to achieve a brighter future.
Please consider supporting organizations like the Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAAJ), Asian Pacific Islander Community Leadership Foundation NW, and STOP AAPI Hate, which have built and established trust within the community. Links to these organizations can be found below.
Lastly, if you’ve experienced discrimination of any kind while participating in this league, please report it to us immediately. You can do so by emailing commissioner@
