The members said they believe their day's efforts were successful, as several students stopped to speak to members and sign a petition for the release of Lee.
"We had to get more copies and ribbons several times," Kim said. "Most of the people who talked to us also signed the petition."
Since the group is relatively new, members said they wanted to make their presence known before the beginning of reading period and final exams. May is also Asian-American Pacific Heritage Month.
Kim says they plan to continue their efforts next year through events and speakers aimed at the Asian-American community.
"Many students feel that its time for Asian-Americans to take a more politically active role," Kim said. "In the fall is when we will start buckling down."
