SANDISCA and the San Diego Yokohama Sister City Society values the building of cultural bridges. The profound harm caused by racism, hate, and discrimination is fatal, and we condemn it deeply.
Our organizations seeks to create citizen diplomacy, and this can only be done through the appreciation of other cultures. We strive to use our organization to fight against systemic racism in our society and institutions.
It is vital to repudiate these hateful acts, as well as the actors, to protect our communities and ensure safety and appreciation during these difficult and heartbreaking times.
