With the recent dramatic rise in hate crimes, most notably against the elderly and women in the Asian American community, I am reminded of the work that still needs to be done to cherish all human life. I am pictured here with nine of my dear friends. We have collectively created a matching fund of up to $10,000 to support the following projects: 1) Bystander Intervention Trainings - https://secure.donationpay.org/aajc/ 2) Writers Fellowship for Cultural Content in Media - https://www.capeusa.org/donate 3) Civil Rights Advocacy - https://advancingjusticela.networkforgood.com/projects/72008-advancing-justice-la-donate-page 4) Community Based Response to Hate Crimes – https://donate.givedirect.org/?cid=14711 5) Community Action Fund for Elderly and Mental Health – https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/community-action-fund 6) Direct Financial Support to the Victims of the Atlanta Shootings and their Families - https://actionnetwork.org/fundraising/support-georgias-asian-american-community/ If you have the capacity to give in any amount, please do so and note “APA Women Leaders Match”. If you have already donated, please leave a comment and reference the organization and we will send the matching donation at the end of the month. We know that each small effort to look after one another will continue to create positive change for all. #hateisavirus #stopasianhate
