AAPILC Statement following Saturday Night’s Shooting at Club Q in Colorado

California (November 22, 2022): The Asian American and Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus (AAPILC) is devastated by the shooting at Club Q this past weekend. We give our sincerest condolences to the victims’ families and the Colorado Springs LGBTQ community. We issue this statement to stand with the LGBTQ community and reassert our Caucus’ dedication to preventing hate and equality.

The LGBTQ community has continuously fought to be safe in their own communities; however, are too often are met with discrimination and violence. Thus, we continue to fight against hate, and demand more comprehensive gun reform legislation to combat senseless violence and help prevent these atrocities from happening in the future.

The AAPILC stands with the entire LGBTQ community as our fight for equality and safety persists.
