Supporting Our AAPI Community
We stand in solidarity with AAPI communities, condemning bigotry and demanding justice against racist violence. Being neutral in the face of injustice is not an option and we commit to fighting all forms of racism beginning with our own institutional practices and will strive to build an anti-racist culture.
There are opportunities to engage in local efforts in support of AAPI community members. Below is a list of resources to improve our understanding of AAPI history and anti-Asian violence, and opportunities for solidarity.
In peace and solidarity.
