Our Work

“This event comes at an important time for our AAPI community, as we unite with our allies to celebrate the breadth and diversity of the Asian American experience. There is more work to be done in raising awareness of the contributions of our AAPI community and we’re honored to have the support of our partners as we work to build solidarity in service of a more equal and just society in America.”

"Having tracked anti-Asian hate incidents for the past few years, StandAgainstHatred.org has been an important resource for our communities to work with the Department of Justice on hate crime prevention and policy advocacy. The demand for bystander trainings is growing and we are appreciative of the partnerships with Hollaback! and TAAF for supporting us to bring this to thousands more."

"Over the last year, anti-Asian hate incidents have skyrocketed, and so has the demand for analysis, education, and community solutions. TAAF's support will help Stop AAPI Hate continue to grow and develop, allow us to release even more-detailed analysis, work with local groups on community safety solutions, and to continue to advocate for the systems and policies which meet the needs of discriminatory actions."

“You can’t fight what you can’t measure, which is why efforts to track hate are so critical. We hope Decoding Hate makes the anti-AAPI hate incidents reported in the news and on Twitter more real and gives us greater insight into the landscape of hate targeting AAPIs. Going forward, we’re excited to work together with other leading partners as part of TAAF's Anti-Hate Data Working Group,  to strengthen our collective efforts and ensure the fight against hate is informed by sound data and research.”

"The disproportionate impact of anti-Asian hate and violence on Asian American women, including the tragic murders in Atlanta, points to the importance of addressing the needs and vulnerabilities, as well as the strengths and opportunities for AAPI women. NAPAWF is proud to be a partner with TAAF in amplifying AAPI women’s voices in research and analysis, advocacy, and media to ensure that women and families are centered in changes to benefit our AAPI communities."

"I believe a much needed change at this moment requires a national awakening and dialogue that involves leaders from every community. I fully support the creation of data collection standards and robust analyses of anti-AAPI hate incidents. The Anti-Hate Working Group will go a long way to providing a clearer picture of how these incidents are targeting and affecting our AAPI communities."  

"Learning about Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) history, struggle and contribution is critical to understanding who we are today and where we're going as a nation. TAAF's support allows the The Asian American Education Project to bring AAPI history up to the current wave of violence to more students and to advocate for including ethnic studies of all types, including Asian American Studies, in every student's required curriculum."

“The purpose of the Give In May campaign—held during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month—is to raise awareness and funds for organizations serving AAPI communities, many of whom are often unseen. Co-hosted by AAPI Data and Asian Pacific Fund, Give In May shattered expectations in its first year (2020) and can become a powerful annual movement in AAPI philanthropy, strengthening the capacity for fundraising among nonprofits and individuals alike. TAAF’s presenting sponsorship provides important early support for this effort to increase funding to critical AAPI organizations.”

"I stand with the AAPI community during this painful time, in an already difficult year. We at the Urban Institute remain committed to doing work that spotlights the contributions of AAPI people to our society, illuminates persistent systemic and structural barriers to opportunity, and offers fact-based solutions to build a more inclusive America."
