In a Twitter thread Sunday, Shang-Chi star Simu Liu also addressed the shooting and encouraged people to donate to verified fundraisers for the victims and said he would give what he could. The Southern California branch of Asian Americans Advancing Justice created a GoFundMe for the victims and has raised over $100,00 as of Monday.
“For those who are unfamiliar, Monterey Park is a city in LA County that is majority AAPI. It’s home of Asian American families, parents, grandparents, siblings, sons and daughters, aunts and uncles. All of whom were looking forward to celebrating the New Year this weekend,” Liu wrote. “I am shocked, saddened, angered, and heartbroken for the families who have been affected tonight.”
