Dear Community,

We are just 2 days away from the UNITY MARCH ([link removed]) , the first ever Asian American-led march taking place on Saturday, June 25th on the National Mall in Washington, DC from 12-3pm ET.

For this historic event, turnout is absolutely critical. A large showing will signal to our policymakers, funders, and allies that the Asian American movement is ready to put in the work for collective liberation. We need every person – Asian Americans AND allies – to be there on the National Mall on June 25. We are asking for your presence at this event, and to help to amplify this message.

Join Us for the UNITY MARCH ([link removed])

The goal of the Unity March is to demand full rights and representation for Asian American and allied communities. With it, we aim to:
* Bring new people into the movement for racial and economic justice;
* Demonstrate our collective strength as Asian Americans and allies;
* And reiterate our commitment to building cross-racial, intersectional people power in the long term.

The time is now for us to unite and get together in a way that is big and visible. We must build and show our collective power to reimagine the future for our communities and break the cycle of violence together.
