** Leadership Weekly
------------------------------------------------------------
Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month comes at a time of horrific spikes in violence against AAPI communities. This violence, including the Atlanta mass shootings in March, is disproportionately targeted at women. In this Leadership Weekly, we honor Asian American women leaders and activists working within their communities and in solidarity across movements for racial and economic justice. In our lead feature, Seema Agnani, executive director of the National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development, argues that “in this time of violence and threat of harm to our own bodies, we can only find true safety when there is justice for all.”

------------------------------------------------------------

Seema Agnani writes ([link removed]) that the violence and injustice directed at AAPI communities has to be seen in the broader context of white supremacy. She finds resilience in the voices of her fellow Asian American women leaders. “I take inspiration from our communities, especially in the community of AAPI women who, moving forward, must be centered in conversations about community-driven solutions for safety.”

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times ([link removed]) , activist Ana Iwataki and her aunt, fellow activist Miya Iwataki, explore the roots of Asian American activism and the power of multigenerational leadership. “For decades,” according to Miya, “most people didn’t know that there was an Asian revolutionary movement in the ’60s and ’70s and that our programs were really inspired by groups like the Black Panther Party.”
