ICAAP Statements on Police Brutality and Anti-Asian Violence
ICAAP recognizes that as pediatricians, we cannot remain silent when it comes to police violence. We are committed to working with legislators and community partners to drive policy change and accountability, and to combat structural racism. We advocate for greater community support systems, school funding and mental health resources in order to protect youth/young adults in crisis.
ICAAP extends our allyship and solidarity with our patients, families, colleagues, friends, and community who identify as Asian. We are deeply saddened by the historical racism and recent multiple acts of anti-Asian violence in our country.
