Themes

• The following three themes are:
  • In it Together: This theme is inspired by the importance of challenging stereotypes and standing firm for all, not just your own.
  • Belonging: Belonging is a counterweight to racism and violence, and can advance a vision for the inclusion and recognition of the ways AAPI communities have shaped and contributed to this country.
