In little over a week, we have mobilized national mainstream media to get up and speak to the issues of the Asian American community in a real way. Every person who has signed, shared, donated, discussed and moved this issue forward has helped to make it happen.
Without YOU, this would not have happened. Thank you.
What we did not expect is almost every media outlet we cited in the original petition stepped up to raise our voices and educate a national audience to why our safety was at risk. Thank you for listening. Keep telling our stories and shedding light on the multifaceted nature of the Asian American experience - our troubles, joy, love and triumph. We have some pretty amazing stories to tell.
Thank you to the many Asian and non-Asian celeb allies that have come out to support including Dua Lipa, Demi Lovato, Chrissy Teigen + so many others who shared the info.
Special thanks to the COUNTLESS female Asian American local and national reporters and journalists that surfaced this story, kept it alive and continue to do the work DAILY. You ladies are the real MVPS.
If you're looking to diversify your social feed with some Asian American focused accounts, here are a few partners to keep tabs on:

And thank you to Ro @ Rolling Stone and Brittany @ Huff Po for the AAC love.
We'll be updating everyone again later this week. Thank you!
