Friend,

Happy Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month!
During the month of May, we celebrate the countless ways people of
Asian and Pacific Islander descent have contributed to our communities
and our culture. We also highlight their necessary activism against
bigotry and hate as violent incidents against AAPI people have
increased in America during the COVID-19 pandemic. These attacks are
just the latest in a series of discriminatory and unjust actions that
have targeted U.S. AAPI communities for centuries.

This year, we're observing AAPI History Month by spotlighting
leaders and influencers who work toward strengthening immigrant
justice, union power, community unity, race-conscious college
admissions, equality, voting rights, civic equity, cultural pride,
truth-telling and even joy attained through the arts.

 "I believe that love is the most powerful force for change
in the world. I often compare great campaigns to great love affairs
because they're an incredible container for transformation. You
can change policy, but you also change relationships and people in the
process."

- Ai-jen Poo, co-founder and executive director of the
National Domestic Workers Alliance

Sincerely,

Your friends at the Southern Poverty Law Center
