Today, we make a pledge — we will not go silent. Almost a year after the Atlanta spa shootings and days after the murder of Michelle Go, we must continue to drive awareness for the AAPI community and #stopAsianhate. The AAPI experience continues to be largely unacknowledged and unaddressed by mainstream US culture. Although we have made progress, we must keep pushing to ensure our voices are heard. As an AAPI-owned brand, we ask you to make this pledge with us, @tower28beauty, @napawf, and @asianamericangirlclub. In addition to the statistics above, we’d like to share additional statistics provided by NAPAWF*: -70% of AAPI women 50 and older reported that anti-AAPI hate and racism had impacted their lives in some way -As a result of COVID-19, 2 in 5 AAPI women say they have been personally impacted by instances of racism and violence -AAPI Women made 50¢ to 90¢ per dollar that white men took home in 2019 Please share this graphic on your stories or feed and learn more @napawf. Thank you so much for supporting this effort; we all deserve to feel heard, seen, and safe. *The poll, which was conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of NAPAWF in 2021, is the largest survey of AAPI women ever conducted. The study interviewed over 3,537 adult AAPI-American women across the nation on a fully representative sample.
