May is Asian American Heritage Month. While we recognized and honor the many contributions of Americans of Asian descent, we remain vigilant in continuing to protect the civil and human rights of all our community members. These past years have been especially challenging as hate crimes against Asian/Asian Americans escalated leading IAAA to launch an educational campaign, Virus Has No Nationality. In keeping with the theme of ‘Virus Has No Nationality’, we invite you to share your story, through your lenses of how you interpret and express the theme’s meaning. We encourage you to be bold and brave in challenging issues of racism, sexism, xenophobia, ableism, heterosexism, classism, and all -isms. Through a five-minute film, we hope your creative expressions will inspire hopes and possibilities for a better tomorrow.
