WHO WE ARE
- 23 million people across the United States and territories.
- Fastest growing demographic group in the country with communities in the East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community.
WHAT WE ARE SAYING
- STOP ASIAN HATE. This must stop.
- This is not new. While COVID-19 has brought a wave of violence towards our communities, anti-Asian racism is deeply rooted in American history.
- We are not a single-issue constituency. Equity for our community means being visible in other debates like immigration, health, education, housing.
- We are not a monolith. True racial equity for our community means supporting all of our diverse communities, especially Southeast Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders.
