THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING POWER IN SOLIDARITY
 

"Congratulations on a really wonderful conference!  It was such a vibrant, interesting, and fun conference.  I loved the solidarity theme, and got some really useful information from a couple of the sessions I attended. Also kudos on incorporating so much art and culture, which added such depth to the experience. Thanks for all your work and advocacy on behalf of our communities....Coming to AAPIP events always feels like coming home, and this was a much-needed homecoming."  

                                                                                                                           - Power in Solidarity Attendee 

 

Thank you to those of you who joined us in-person and virtually for the Power in Solidarity gathering. Over 500 people came together, redefining power in the spirit of generosity and celebrating the extraordinary rewards of cross-racial solidarity. It was an exciting few days of learning, cultural performances, networking, giving back and having fun.  We thank our co-organizers Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP) for partnering with us in this endeavor. We hope everyone enjoyed their time with us and please stay tuned for more to come in the future.

THANK YOU AAPIP SUPPORTERS
 

Advancing justice and equity will take all of us.

 

AAPIP appreciates the steadfast support from the 100+ Institutional Members who have joined us so far.

 

Since our founding in 1990, AAPIP has envisioned a more just and equitable society and has been a critical voice for advancing the full picture of racial justice - one which includes Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. As our nation, and the world, reckon with the legacies of dehumanization and injustice, AAPIP is an increasingly important voice in philanthropy.  

 

Your membership helps support AAPIP's work and centers you as an important part of the growing AAPIP community with special benefits!
