With Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month just under 20 years old as a formal celebration, there\u2019s a pull stronger than ever to learn about and recognize this diverse racial group as the world wakes up to calls for inclusivity.  The anti-Asian sentiments that have been inflamed amid the coronavirus pandemic have no<\/strong> place or power in this world and among the collective global efforts to create an equitable society for all.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we at Aerie take time to reflect on the significance of the AAPI community this May, we encourage you to join and learn along with us as we seek to lift them up throughout it and beyond. We\u2019ve gathered some resources that highlight the voices and work of activists, leaders, authors and more. Please use this \u2013 just as we will \u2014 to help educate, inspire and empower. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
