Help APIDA Students Hurt by SB17(TX anti-DEI Bill)

Hello!

We are ADPAC (the Asian Desi Pacific Islander American Collective) at UT Austin, and we serve as a registered student organization that provides community resources, identity-based events, leadership institutes, the tools to fight for Asian American/immigrant rights, and plans the only graduation event for Asian American students on campus, encompassing over 50,000 students.

Due to the recent “Anti-DEI bill”, SB17, being enforced on campus, our organization was forced to disassociate from official campus support, funding, and supervision–such as the now-dissolved Multicultural Engagement Center. We lost all our main funding and aid from the university and were only notified a few weeks prior to the bill being instituted on January 1, 2024.

We are kindly asking for your support through any means (donations in food, event sponsorships, school materials, scholarships, grants, equipment, venues etc.) if you are able to at this time – any support at this time would help and is greatly appreciated! However, monetary donations to keep our organization going are highly preferred!

Please let us know if you would be able to support or sponsor our organization in any other way possible for the remainder of the 2024 school year, such as having an employer match your donation. We appreciate any donation made to our GoFundMe.

If you have any questions, words of support, or general inquiries, the best way to reach us is through GoFundMe. If needed, you can also message us on instagram: @utadpac!

Thank you and best regards,

UT ADPAC
