Big news: We’ve launched the ATJ Action Fund, a new 501(c)(4) advocacy org rooted in community and built for power. Led by Asian Texans for Justice & @RiseAAPI, we're taking the fight for AAPI political power in Texas to the next level. ➡️ atjactionfund.org
12 years ago, 26 lives were tragically lost at Sandy Hook Elementary–20 of them just 6 and 7 years old. It's long overdue for our elected officials to pass common-sense gun laws to protect Americans and prevent gun violence. Call your reps today and tell them to act NOW.
Congratulations to @RiseAAPI Advisory Board Member, State Rep. @GeneforTexas, on being elected Chair of the @TexasHDC—the first Asian American to lead the caucus!
Giving to @RiseAAPI means that you're a part of the crucial work we're doing to build a safer, cleaner, brighter, and more equitable future for all AAPIs in Texas. Donate at the link in our bio or at secure.actblue.com/donate/riseaapi. #GivingTuesday2024
From the @RiseAAPI Family to yours...happy Thanksgiving! This year and every year, we're taking time to learn more about the Indigenous land that we live on and taking steps to honor BIPOC equity and justice, always.
Studies show that OB/GYN physicians in Texas aren't giving up, even despite Texas laws that prevent them from treating their patients with evidence-based medicine. Texans deserve better. #reproductivefreedom
TODAY is Election Day! Polls are open 7AM-7PM. Let's get out there and make our voice heard - see you there! For more information on how to find your nearest polling location, voting hours, and more, visit riseaapi.org/votinginfo. #govote
It doesn't matter where you come from or what you look like - everyone should be welcome here. We invite Texans to unite against all forms of hate and to stand for peace for all - and one way to do that is to vote. Visit riseaapi.org/votinginfo for more info. #webelongtogether

We deserve a safer future free from gun violence. AAPIs have been targets of mass shootings, and AAPI youth have the fastest-growing firearm suicide rate, up 71% in the last decade. Visit riseaapi.org for more on our gun violence prevention priorities and voting info.
