Fighting Back Against Domestic Violence

Asian American women organize to break the silence

Chanting “No justice, no peace,” a crowd of some 50 Asian American domestic violence and community activists from across the Bay Area stood on the steps of San Francisco’s Hall of Justice to voice their grief over the death of Filipino American Claire Joyce Tempongko, who was murdered last month.

Twenty-eight-year-old Tempongko was killed in the basement of her Richmond district apartment with her 5-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son nearby, according to homicide Inspector Maureen D’Amico. Her former boyfriend Tari Ramirez is accused of stabbing her to death.
