“While corporations and institutions celebrate multiculturalism through symbolic and performative events intended to highlight the plight or successes of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, freedom fighters, organizers, and movement workers are at the frontline demanding an end to one of the worst state-sanctioned atrocities–genocide.”
As your organizations, companies, and institutions celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, this beautiful blog post asks us to reflect on our role in this movement, what it demands of us now, and what our historical responsibility towards one another to practice solidarity. Read this beautiful blog post from which captures this call to action so well!! I hope this calls in my fellow Asian Americans on here.
with love,
