A Washington Post Article was published on February 26, 2021 about an Asian American family being harassed in Ladera Ranch. Neighbors (including LRSJC members) now stand guard each night at their home. The LRSJC and others from the community were interviewed for the article. The Wash Post article also noted the Lantern Festival of Hope, to be held on 2/26/21 in support of the family and to celebrate the end of the Chinese New Year celebrations.
"The Lantern Festival — which marks the final day of Lunar New Year celebrations — falls on Feb. 26, and “I thought it would be a nice way to show community support and solidarity,” she said. Alongside members of the Ladera Ranch Social Justice Committee and other local organizations, Huang and a group of volunteers have been planning an event called, “Lantern Festival of Hope,” which will be held Friday at a parking lot on the same block as the Si home. There will be food trucks and speeches, and traditional lanterns will be distributed to residents to honor the holiday."
