“Sometimes I wonder if the Asian-American experience is what it’s like when you’re thinking about everyone else, but nobody else is thinking about you,” Yeun said.

Last summer, Pinnacle Prevention took a stand against racism. As a team, we committed both internally and externally, to doing the long-term work to confront the systems of oppression that harm communities of color and dehumanize all of us. 

In the wake of recent attacks against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders as well as the plague of hatred toward Asians across the globe that has only intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic, we know that those in our communities, our professional networks, and even our families have been directly affected. 

Today we acknowledge the complexity of the Asian American experience and the reality of discrimination against AANHPI communities that is often unnoticed, minimized, or ignored.

Today we stand with many organizations and individuals to shout #StopAsianHate and #ProtectAsianLives.

Keep learning, and keep lifting your voice to stop white supremacy in all forms: ·
