Celebration, unity and increased security will be part of the festivities during the Chinese New Year Parade in San Francisco this weekend.
As organizers get the floats ready for the Year of the Tiger celebration, Asian American and Pacific Islander communities are ready to step out in the parade again as well.
"We’re super excited about coming out, especially with all the attacks against Asians," United Peace Collaborative founder Leanna Louie said."We are here to let people know that, 'Hey, we’re here. We’re not invisible. We have a voice.' And we want to show people that we’re going to be out here and we’re not scared to come out."
Many Asian and other minority community groups will join together in the parade under the name"We Are One.""We will have martial artists walking with us, also people trained in self-defense that will be able to step into action if anything happens while we’re walking," said Archbishop Gary Richardson, a"We Are One" co-chair."Of course, we do know how to communicate with the parade personnel to alert them of any problems that may occur.
