Join the AAPI National Week of Action

Stand up, fight back and join the conversation, October 7-14



The Trump administration continues its attacks on immigrant youth and families. A rising wave a xenophobia, Islamophobia, hate speech and racial violence goes unchecked. Neo-Nazis, KKK and white supremacists march on Charlottesville. Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders do not live in a bubble -- these acts affect us other marginalized communities. Will you stand up and fight back?

This week, October 7-14, is the AAPI National Week of Action. This is an opportunity to break the silence and make our voices heard in the public discussion on what is happening in our nation.

The primary focus right now is action around immigration, particularly in consideration of Trump's elimination of DACA and the proposed RAISE Act, which would significantly reduce legal immigration over the next decade and would have a devastating impact on family reunification -- particularly for Asian Americans.

AAPI Voices is partnering with dozens of community group around the country to organize events in 15 cities and online. To see the full updated list of organizations and actions, go to AAPI Voices.

Recently, the Trump administration has advanced racist nativist attacks on immigrants by rescinding DACA, imposing a travel ban on refugees and six Muslim-majority countries, and supporting drastic immigration restrictions through the proposed RAISE Act. Trump has even essentially called neo-Nazis, the KKK, and white supremacists "fine people" in the aftermath of violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

From xenophobia and Islamophobia to acts of racial violence, it is evident all oppression is connected and we can no longer continue to have single-issue campaigns and platforms because we don’t live single-issue lives. Unfortunately, we also have to recognize that segments of our own community have worked against social justice; for example protesting sanctuary cities, ethnic data disaggregation, and affirmative action, et cetera.

All of these unjust acts negatively affect Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, and other marginalized communities. In the wake of all of this, we may ask: What now?
