Around the nation, women and girls are doing the collective work necessary to build free futures in their local communities—including conniewunphd, founder of the ImReady Movement and co-founder of aapiwomenlead. AAPI

Both AAPI Women Lead and the #ImReady Movement aim to strengthen the progressive political and social platforms of Asian and Pacific Islander communities in the U.S. through the leadership of AAPI women and girls. And these communities could certainly use the attention. According toAAPI women on average earn 85 cents to every dollar that white men earn—though this statisticfails to account for the differences in the kinds of jobs Asian women perform.

I’m the cofounder of AAPI Women Lead, which amplifies the leadership of Asian and Pacific Islander women, girls and non-binary communities. We do that to end the violence against our communities and in solidarity with other communities of color. I’m a research consultant through Transformative Research, which means I train organizations and groups on how to do community driven research. I was recently an editor for Kapernick publishing. We did an online series of articles addressing abolition.

One of the other obstacles is the way mainstream organizations are hijacking community-based organizers’ and educators’ work for their own platforms and resources.and surveillance, while the ones who are most vulnerable and have been organizing from that position have to compete against these platforms. The former do it to enhance their political solutions. For instance, they’re calling for more hate crime legislation and partnering with conservative and neo-liberal politicians.

Dr. Fauci: The Covid-19 pandemic ‘isn’t over yet’Dr. Anthony Fauci urges all Americans to get their Covid-19 vaccine to stop the spread of potential variants and to allow the country to fully reopen. He also reacts to the publication of his emails during the early months of the coronavirus crisis. He is right. Just having it out of control in India alone means it could mutate beyond our ability to vaccinate against it. Dr. F, you don't have to defend yourself! You are top notch!
