Fight Against Anti-Asian Violence (DC Chapter)
Tax deductible
Inspired by the Anti-Asian violence fundraising efforts of two amazing groups of small businesses in NYC (@stacheofgoods, @ _cakesbymichelle, and @bigcakemom) and SF (@jamiecakesf), a few of us here in the DC Washington Metropolitan Area would like to keep the momentum going and do the same!
In the past year alone, Anti-Asian hate crimes rose by nearly 150%. Our dearly beloved family and friends are at risk every day and we must put a stop to it. We must stand together and support one another in such difficult times, not just amongst ourselves but alongside our allies. Let's support organizations to help combat Anti-Asian violence.
We are excited to launch this fundraiser for Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC), a non-profit organization here in DC. AAJC is now the U.S.'s fastest-growing racial group with the potential and power to shape our nation and the policies that affect us. Their mission is to advance civil and human rights for Asian Americans and to build and promote a fair and equitable society for all.
Services and Programs provided by AAJC include:
1) Bystander Intervention Training with Hollaback (over 10 public events scheduled in the month of April)
2) Workshop for People Experiencing Anti-Asian Harassment (2 public events scheduled in the month of April)
3) Online tracker to report and document hate and harassment via StandAgainstHatred.org
and so much more!
To show appreciation of your support, we've collaborated with 10+ small local businesses (with over 25 prizes available - ranging from yummy baked treats, restaurant gift cards, photography sessions, and much more!) and created a giveaway here in the local DC Washington Metropolitan area. Every $5 donated equals one entry into this giveaway. At the end of this fundraiser on April 19th, we will draw the winners at random and contact you if you win (one prize per person). You must also be able to pick up the prize locally (no shipping of prizes). If you are not able to pick up locally, we will instead extend to you our deepest gratitude and appreciation and the prize will go to the next randomly drawn winner.
This GoFundMe will run from March 30th to April 20th. Our goal is to raise $5000 to give to AAJC and support the momentum of their community outreach. 100% of all proceeds from this GoFundMe will go directly to AAJC.
Please consider donating and/or sharing! Every little bit helps!
