The recent incidents of violence against the Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, have left us all shaken. We at Eye to Eye stand firm in our condemnation of discrimination, racism, and violence. We stand with our AAPI students, families, and communities, and we share in their grief, fear, and anger.

The Eye to Eye community is rooted in a shared vision of equity. During a prophetic interview filmed more than a year ago, our Chief Empowerment Officer said, “We have to love one another across our differences. This is what we need in America.” We will continue to stand by and champion marginalized communities in pursuit of a more equitable and just world. We hope you will join us in solidarity.
