ONE NATION STANDS IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE BLACK COMMUNITY
JUNE 2020
One Nation stands in solidarity with the Black community. We are outraged by systemic racism against African Americans, most recently expressed in the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. We stand together in grief, rage, and commitment to strengthening the movement, forging coalitions, and lifting our collective power for social change. One Nation stands united with vulnerable, targeted communities of color. A racist attack against any one of us is an attack against all of us. One Nation was formed in 2018 to fight Public Charge, raise AAPI impact in the community and political sphere, and push out our AAPI narrative, truth, data, and stories. Join with One Nation. Speak out, protest, register to vote, vote.
“People who want to fight against anti-Asian hate who ignore the plight of Black Americans are trying to walk without legs.” Dr. Tung Nguyen, One Nation Commissioner, Chair, AAPI Progressive Action, June 1, 2020
“The bottom line is this: if we want to bring about real change, then the choice isn't between protest and politics. We have to do both. We have to mobilize to raise awareness, and we have to organize and cast our ballots to make sure that we elect candidates who will act on reform.”Former President Barack Obama, June 1, 2020
