AAPI Youth Rising
A Youth Organization Taking Small Actions to Make a Difference
Our Mission
We believe in taking small actions to make positive change in our communities. We came together in March 2021 when we organized a 1,200+ person rally to bring awareness to the increase in xenophobia against Asians in America. We continue to speak out to make a difference.
