A bell echoed through San Francisco's Chinatown, sounding once for each of the souls lost in the mass shootings at Half Moon Bay and Monterey Park.
A candlelight vigil brought hundreds of people to Portsmouth Square Thursday night. In the distance, the top of Salesforce Tower was lit with images of the Year of the Rabbit, a reminder of the usually festive time that has been marred by the violent attacks, fear, and grief.
"We need a place to call. We need someone to talk to. And suffering that in silence, being scared all alone is what we want to change," said Orchid Pusey, Director of the Asian Women's Shelter. Names of all the victims, Chinese and Mexican, were written on a lantern that Reverend Norman Fong brought to Thursday's vigil.
At the vigil, organizers called for action, gun control, more services, and caring across the community.
