Collective liberation means not only do we build with the people literally w/ us in this moment, but also the people who came before us. In struggle, we are never alone even when it may feel that way.

We denounce the creation of an Asian Hate Crime Task Force by the NYPD. We don't support any initiative that expands the power of police nor do we believe in carceral responses to address racist violence. Read the full letter & sign on here:

@whitney_hu GTFO with this coopting bullshit. Thank you Whitney for calling it out. For Asian Americans who want to practice solidarity, reach out to groups on the ground already doing this work. It’s telling that @caaav and @DesisRisingUp are not involved with this “march.”

@chaifrancisjin1 100% cut to the Hate Violence Prevention Initiative which is an "alternative safety" program meant to use community education and bystander trainings to address violence --- as opposed to police arresting folks for "hate crimes."

@chaedria @nycgmc Right after featuring @blasianFMA and other Black and brown faces to represent @nycgmc for the @PoseOnFX finale. This is what they do. Exploit us for profit and points but discard and dispose when their white supremacist behaviors get challenged.

“As queer and trans Asian Americans we know that the police have always been an enemy to our people, that Stonewall was an anti-police riot, and that queer and trans liberation, too, is bound up with black liberation.” #Asians4BlackLives #BlackLivesMattter

Do you support closing of Rikers Island? "We are in a crisis. I 100% support the vision of closing Rikers Island" @AndrewYang said, but said city must be flexible on timeframe.

IF YOU LIVE IN NYC, YOU LIVE ON NATIVE LAND. YOU CAN HELP BREAK THE LEGACY OF THEFT AND VIOLENCE. The Manna-hatta Fund presents an opportunity for all settlers to support the Indigenous peoples who were forcefully displaced. #IndigenousPeoplesDay

@ShannonTaylorVA we call on you to drop the charges against community members being targeted by ICE director Tony Pham! It’s outrageous that a community member was detained for 21 hours in PA to be extradited to VA for peacefully protesting. #DroptheChargesShannon

@beevang @jmcmaster29 You are making bad faith arguments and comparisons to harass Black people victimized by police. If you actually want to understand Black abolitionist perspectives on police violence, here’s one by Mariame Kaba.

Prosecuting Cops Does Not Equal Justice

Celebrating charges is like celebrating crumbs.

“The “hate” frame locates racism in the extreme emotional responses of individuals, which obscures the fact that racism is a structural problem.” Excellent piece by GAPIMNY’s former political chairs @jmcmaster29 + @CriticalRace . Thank you for writing this.
