** Open Letter to Philanthropy: The Cure to Viral Racism is in Our Hands

In response, Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy (AAPIP) circulated an open letter signed by hundreds of groups and individuals, including PEAK, that calls for funders to support groups confronting racism as a part of their coronavirus relief efforts – and for us all to speak out to denounce racism and strengthen our shared humanity.
