The DMV AAPI Celebrates Asian Pacific American Heritage Month
This year, nine (9) Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) organizations in the Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area are partnering with each other to kick off a fundraiser for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Artist Jennifer Kumura (@JennKu) designed two versions of a Solidarity T-shirt to honor our shared heritage and show our solidarity with AAPI communities facing hate crimes and discrimination.
Order your t-shirt today before supplies run out! All proceeds will go towards Feed Your Hospital Greater Washington to feed healthcare workers and Asian Americans Advancing Justice to support victims of discrimination. For many of us, Asian Pacific American Heritage Month means celebrating both our Asian culture as well as our American values. We're so excited to join forces with so many different AAPI organizations to give back to our community in two different but very important ways.
