For Asian Americans, the crisis of Islamophobia strikes close to home. 30% of Muslim adults in the U.S. are Asian. They — and people of all faiths — deserve to live in a world where they can study, work, and worship without fear for their lives. We remain committed to building that future together.

Gun violence affects every community in this country. According to a Giffords report, 589 Asian Americans and 65 Pacific Islanders are killed by guns every year. This data is a reminder of how gun violence impacts AAPI communities, and why policy solutions matter for everyone 👇

This was a turning point in the national movement for racial justice: Thousands of people took to the streets to call out anti-Asian racism, and took to social media to share their stories — turning our collective pain into collective power.

On this day in 2021, a gunman murdered eight people — six of them Asian women — in spas across Atlanta, GA. The Atlanta spa shootings sent shockwaves of grief and anger across the nation. But instead of scaring us into silence, it inspired us to act.
