#StopAsianHate: Intercollegiate APIDA Coalition

We are the Intercollegiate APIDA Coalition (ICAC), an alliance of APIDA (Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American) student groups from college campuses across the nation that formed in order to address the rise in anti-Asian racism and violence.

Our group recognizes the long-term importance of legal advocacy for our communities, and that's why we're hosting a fundraiser for Asian Americans Advancing Justice (AAJC), a national organization that supports immigration and voting rights for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. We call on members of our college campuses, including students, staff, faculty, and admin to donate to this cause. All donations are directly transferred to AAJC via GoFundMe.

We also recognize that community-based and grassroots organizing is a major driving force behind sustainable and meaningful change to address the needs of stakeholders. We have also compiled a number of local organizations  that engage in meaningful and intersectional work to support APIDA communities across the US, and we strongly encourage individuals to donate towards those groups as well.

The ICAC is a collaboration of students from Boston University, Caltech, Johns Hopkins University, MIT, Princeton, Vanderbilt, Virginia Tech, WashU, and more. If you and your college organization are interested in joining or helping with this fundraiser, please reach out to our group on Instagram , and feel free to contact us via email at ic.apida.coalition [@gmail.com] as well!
