Paly students rally against Asian hate

Instead of people coming together to converse, eat and listen to live music, on May 2nd, University Ave turned to a place full of peaceful protest and political activism. The Palo Alto community came together to share their frustration with the lack of legislation that addresses the rise in Anti-Asian hate crimes. It was only just recently that a Hate Crimes Act passed in Congress with a majority vote. The lack of Asian-American and Pacific Islander representation has been a pressing issue for both the greater American and Palo Alto communities. The Paly Voice interviewed two Palo Alto High school students, Mathew Signorello-Katz and Johannah Seah, and asked them to discuss their involvement in the 8x8 Rally and why they choose to get involved.
