AAPI Heritage Month may be over, but our work supporting and amplifying AAPI voices is a year-round effort. We’re halfway to 300 donors, and we’re not giving up yet. Help us reach our goal by June 14!

In the weeks ahead, we'll be advocating for historic investments in AAPI communities, training educators to teach AAPI histories and experiences, defending the rights of immigrants and families, and encouraging civic participation across the state.

Every one of these efforts is powered by people like you.

If you believe in a New Jersey where AAPI communities can thrive, belong, and lead, please consider making a gift today. Give at tinyurl.com/AAPINJgive

How do we turn conversations into collective action?

At the Asian American Leadership Summit 2026, Dennis C. Chin, Chief Strategy Officer at We Make The Future, will lead Using Narrative to Organize Your Family and Friends.

This interactive workshop explores Race Class Narrative (RCN) and how storytelling can build support, deepen connection, and inspire action.

Register today to join us July 17-18 at Princeton University for a weekend of learning, leadership development, and community building. Stay tuned for more Summit announcements coming soon!

To those on hunger strike in Delaney Hall, and their loved ones: we see you, we care for you, and you are not alone.

We are united in demanding an immediate end to the inhumane, for-profit detention system, ICE's unprovoked brutality, and the denial of due process in a country where everyone should have equal protection under the law.

Please join us in asking Gov. Sherrill to fully fund the Deportation and Detainment Defense Initiative (https://bit.ly/support-DDDI), and support the needs of those detained in Delaney Hall by sending a donation by Venmo to our trusted ally on the ground, Cosecha New Jersey.

New Jersey benefits from AAPI communities every day, economically, socially, and culturally. So why does the proposed FY27 state budget include $0 for AAPI programs and services?

Meanwhile, states like New York and California are investing tens of millions into supporting their AAPI communities.

The Healthy AAPI Communities Budget calls on New Jersey to invest in trusted, community-based organizations providing mental health support, youth and senior services, immigrant support, healthcare navigation, language access, and more.

Tell NJ lawmakers: Fund the Healthy AAPI Communities Budget. ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/HAAPIbudget
