One of IROC's goals for 2021 was to create a mission and vision statement to keep us on track of what we are doing and what we would like to accomplish in the future. IROC met nine times in 2021 with many valuable community members coming together to figure out how we can collaborate more to best help immigrant and refugee sexual violence survivors. With the help of many members we were able to create our mission and vision statement to lead us into 2022. I hope everyone has a great New Year. If you want to be apart of the IROC coalition email [email protected] for the zoom link. IROC meets monthly via zoom on the first Thursday of the month from 9:30- 10:30 am.

There is a lot of grief, pain, and anger in the Asian American community. After enduring a year of increased discrimination and attacks that disproportionately targeted Asian elders and Asian women, Asian Americans are hurting and mourning. For far too long, violence against Asian women especially has been overlooked, minimized, and even erased. IROC stands with the Asian American community to stop Asian hate. We mourn the lives lost and encourage community members to stand up agaisnt racsim and xenophobia. Not sure where to begin? Check out these resources below as well as support local Asain owned businesses, advocate for Asian family, friends, and neighbors, speak up if you witness asian hate or harrassment. https://www.instagram.com/theconsciouskid/guide/aapi-anti-racism-resource-guide/17912804428649090/
