The 'Killing Eve' star joined a 'Stop Asian Hate' protest in Pittsburgh, delivering a powerful speech that encouraged community support.

"Pittsburgh, I am so happy and proud to be here with you, and thank you to all the organizers for organizing this just to give us an opportunity to be together and to stand together and to feel each other," Oh said over a megaphone."For many of us in our community, this is the first time we are even able to voice our fear and our anger and I really am so grateful to everyone willing to listen.

Oh concluded the heart of her speech with one single line: “And just for one thing, I am proud to be Asian!” The crowd repeated back Oh’s words multiple times before she wrapped up her powerful speech, adding, “Many of us don’t get the chance to be able to say that, so I just wanted to give us an opportunity to be able to shout that.”Oh, who is rarely active on social media, posted two separate messages in recent weeks calling for the end of anti-Asian racism in the country. On March 9, shethat included several organizations and funds to donate to in an effort to help keep our communities safe.

Omg that was my video from the Pitt News that was featured! This is such an honor, thank you so much!!!

Please stop sharing the false narrative that these women in Atlanta were “business owners” the Gold spa and aromatherapy spa were houses of prostitution the young man you highlighted his mother was a pimp. Their deaths are bad but let’s not make Saints where they don’t exist

Another reason to watch your show!
