Asian Americans for Black Lives

Resources and Calls to Action

We have compiled a list of resources including readings, book clubs, mutual aid funds, petitions, and organizations for community members to access. It is our hope that the resources on our page will be used by non-Black community members to learn how to become effective allies. We aim to uplift Black organizers and voices and continue honoring the tradition and history of solidarity between Black and Asian communities in the fight for justice.

Readings

Articles, books, and book clubs that cover prison abolition, defunding the police, Black and Asian American solidarity, and general readings to understand and contextualize the movement for Black lives.

Resources

How do you talk about Black lives? These resources have been collected to better understand the Movement for Black lives and how we can talk to our community about the fight for liberation.

Take Action!

There are different ways to take action to support Black lives: make a donation to an organization or directly to a mutual aid fund, sign a petition to demand action, or learn about organizations that fight for Black liberation.

The Asian American Advocacy Fund stands in solidarity with Black lives and understands the movement for Black lives and liberation as one that works against the oppressive systems of white supremacy. As AAPI’s, we must not only continue to educate ourselves but show up for Black communities. The AAPI community continues to benefit from the rights and privileges that are the result of the hard-fought battles by Black organizers and activists. We will not be tools of white supremacy or uphold a racist and violent state. We condemn forms of the model minority myth and recognize the racism and anti-Blackness in this narrative. We are and will always be in solidarity with the movement for Black lives. 

We are and will always be in solidarity with the movement for Black lives.

How to be a better ally

 
 

"Now, we've got to have some changes in this country. And not only changes for the black man, and only changes for the black woman, but the changes we have to have in this country are going to be for liberation of all people — because nobody's free until everybody's free”

- Fannie Lou Hamer, 1971
