Support AAPI Movements

Asian Americans have been part of the American story since its earliest days, and are now the U.S.'s fastest-growing racial group with the potential and power to shape our nation and the policies that affect us. Our mission is to advance civil and human rights for Asian Americans and to build and promote a fair and equitable society for all.

Our Chairman, Board of Directors, Staff and Volunteers work diligently as a team to support our foundation mission year round. Because we recognize that the Parent-Student-Teacher relationship is crucial for our Pacific Islander youths to succeed, it MUST be prioritized. By doing all that we can to bridge the gap between Pacific Islander parents, students, school staff and community leaders we also work to help families utilize the vast array of untapped resources that are available. Ultimately, we focus on bringing communities together in order to share our beautiful and thriving Pacific Islander cultures with people from all over the world.

ACRS promotes social justice and the well-being and empowerment of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other underserved communities – including immigrants, refugees, and American-born – by developing, providing and advocating for innovative, effective and efficient community-based multilingual and multicultural services.

In response to the alarming escalation in xenophobia and bigotry resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council (A3PCON), Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), and the Asian American Studies Department of San Francisco State University launched the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center on March 19, 2020. The center tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States.

Our approach recognizes that in order to effectively address anti-Asian racism we must work to end all forms of structural racism leveled at Black, Indigenous, and other communities of color.

Our 5-pronged approach is to:

• Serve as the leading aggregator of anti-Asian and anti-Pacific Islander hate incidents

• Offer multilingual resources for impacted community members

• Provide technical assistance from rapid response to preventative measures

• Support community-based safety measures and restorative justice efforts

• Advocate for local, state, and national policies that reinforce human rights and civil rights protections
