In Antioch, a city grappling with its complex history of discrimination against Asian communities, particularly early Chinese immigrants during the gold rush, efforts towards reconciliation are underway. Mayor Lamar Thorpe issued a formal apology in May 2021 for the city's past mistreatment. This move has inspired major cities like San José, Los Angeles, and San Francisco to pass similar resolutions. Concurrently, discussions on the impact of racist policies on economic opportunities for Asian communities are being highlighted, emphasizing the need for systemic change. Buddhists are using karmic healing to combat the city's anti-Asian legacy and nationwide prejudice.
