Census
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.
This list includes all of our individual, foundation, corporate, and other community support. Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC gratefully acknowledges the numerous donations made in anonymity.
