“That’s the history of racism and colonialism ー to break us apart and split us
up and pit us against each other. To stand in solidarity with intention is to
refute white supremacy, to refute the ways that they’ve tried to colonize us in
our minds about ourselves and each other.” - Mike Ishii, Senior Organizer at
Tsuru for Solidarity—

Friend, May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and
Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, when we celebrate the vast diversity
of the AANHPI community and recognize their contributions to the cultural fabric
of our country.

It’s also a time for us to stand in solidarity — to join leaders and advocates across the country who are fighting to protect
AANHPI lives and stop hate in all its forms.

Together, we must fight back against the rise in hate and violence toward AANHPI
people in this country. Our collective responsibility is to create a safe,
equitable, and inclusive country where everyone can live free from fear. We must unite against adversity and celebrate culture, community, purpose and
belonging.

This AANHPI Heritage Month, NILC is standing alongside the organizations who
work directly with AANHPI people and on the issues that impact those communities
most — and we are asking for you to join us, friend.
Please help us support their critical work by contributing below:

communities that make this country great.

With gratitude,
