Democracy will not be denied. The movement to advance civil and human rights and to create equity and racial justice for our communities is a marathon, not a sprint. Often in the heat of the race, we can forget to celebrate our milestones, no matter how big or small they may be on the scales of justice. It is with this mindset that Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC invites you to read this annual report – focusing on the progress and accomplishments we have been able to achieve this year.

For many, Lunar New Year and the days that follow were meant to be a time filled with celebration, joy, and community. Instead, we mourn the lives lost and many injured following the tragic shootings in Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay. We are still processing and grieving, all in different ways, but the impact is clear, and it remains consistent: our community, especially those most vulnerable, is being retraumatized as they continue to be targeted by hate and violence.
We are sad. We are angry. We are scared.
