$1M EDD Fraud; Rally Against Asian Hate Crimes | NorCal In Brief

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — As the weekend wraps up, we've rounded up all the stories you may have missed Saturday and Sunday to prepare you for Monday.

But before we jump into the weekend's top stories, Northern California residents should know that San Francisco — as well as cities across the U.S. — marked the one year anniversary of a Thai grandfather's murder with a rally in the San Francisco neighborhood where the 84-year-old was killed.

His daughter Monthanus Ratanapakdee was joined by San Francisco Mayor London Breed, local leaders and several hundred people who came out to say they would stay silent no more.

Hundreds of people in five other U.S. cities joined in the national event, all of them seeking justice for Asian Americans who have been harassed, assaulted, and even killed in alarming numbers since the start of the pandemic.

Some northern Golden Staters also might be saddened to know that the San Francisco 49ers were defeated by the Los Angeles Rams Sunday evening. The Southland team earned a spot in the Super Bowl at their home stadium next month with a thrilling 20-17 victory over the 49ers in the NFC championship game.
