Asian Americans are crowdsourcing a letter to explain Black Lives Matter to their families.

After the shootings of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, Asian-Americans expressed their support of Black Lives Matter in an open letter to their relatives and to the whole world. It became necessary ‘cause of lack of empathy from many people in the Asian-American community. Finally, the letter went viral and has been translated into more than 20 languages.

Thank you guys.
