We, Too, Stand in Solidarity
We, Too, Stand in Solidarity
From the Visions2030 team
We stand with members of the Asian American and Pacific Islander community all year round.
We pledge to hold space for the Asian diaspora.
We are committed to continue informing ourselves about Asian American histories.
We support Asian American businesses.
We are still in the wake of a devastating tragedy: the recent shooting at three spas in Atlanta, Georgia. Seven of the eight victims were women; six were of Asian descent.
Visions2030 stands with members of the AAPI community deeply affected by outrageous acts of violence. Our hearts go out to those still grieving the recent murder of eight Asian American women in Atlanta: Soon Chung Park, 74; Hyun Jung Grant, 51; Suncha Kim, 69; Yong Ae Yue, 63; Delaina Ashley Yaun, 33; Xiaojie Tan, 49; Daoyou Feng, 44; and Paul Andre Michels, 54.
To support in the fight against anti-AAPI racism and violence, we’ve included a list of organizations battling both. We invite you to delve into these resources to learn more, and donate if you are able.
