content: On February 29, 2020, members of the San Francisco Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association (CCBA) organized a march and rally to bring awareness about the effects the pandemic would have on Asian American communities. These events were the first to protest Covid-19-related hate crimes against Asian Americans. A 1,000 person procession consisting of representatives from family associations, businesses, community agencies, pastors, local politicians, and youth groups carried a banner at the front of their march. The banner says, “Fight the Virus, NOT the People,” and in Cantonese, the banner spells out: “Together we support the businesses, [we are] against discrimination,” and “[We] support fighting the global pandemic, with courage and determination.” This photograph taken by Lucy Xie captures the prominent display of a banner, at the front of the community’s march against racism.
