May is AAPI Heritage Month, an important time of the year to highlight issues that impact Asian American and Pacific Islander community members from immigration to the rise of anti-Asian violence in the United States. Stop AAPI Hate has recorded nearly 3,800 cases of anti-Asian discrimination in the past year alone. AAPI community leaders are at the forefront of fighting for progressive immigration reform, voting rights expansion, ending militarism here and abroad, and much more. Give to keep this important organizing and advocacy work going!
