Is There Anything Spookier Than White Supremacy?
|
Dear AAPIPers,
At AAPIP, we understand that white supremacy isn't just the stuff of our Halloween nightmares, it's the reality of the society we find ourselves in. It's a complex systemic maze that we can't just "snap out of", but working together, we can create new tools that shine light into dark corners, guided by principles of love, respect, and humanity.
That's why we're excited to share this new tool: Collective Good: Recommendations for Philanthropy on Racial Solidarity & Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Communities. A collective product of three working groups convened by AAPIP after the tragic ATL shootings, Collective Good is an invitation to deepen racial equity and racial justice strategies in philanthropy. Through tools like these and the power of our collective action, we can awaken from the insidious nightmare of white supremacy and reset our path toward a brighter future that includes us all.
We hope you enjoy this treat and use this communications toolkit to share it widely.
In community,
The AAPIP Team

Collective Good is an invitation to philanthropy to deepen its racial equity and racial justice strategies. This memo outlines 10 key recommendations, to support and sustain community ecosystems, improve data equity, and reset harmful narratives about AANHPI people.
Immediately following the tragic shooting of eight people - six of them Asian women - on March 16, 2021, in Atlanta, Georgia, AAPIP organized more than 700 philanthropic professionals, including 300 CEOs, 60 of whom identify as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander, to sign this Call for Solidarity & Collective Action. Galvanizing this philanthropic energy to expand and sustain resources for AANHPI communities, in service to advancing racial justice for all communities, AAPIP convened three working groups focused on Community Ecosystems, Data Equity, and Narrative Change.
Collective Good: Recommendations for Philanthropy on Racial Solidarity & Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Communities was born out of this philanthropic organizing effort.
