"Our mission is to advance equity, justice, and power by dismantling systemic racism and building a multiracial movement to end anti-Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) hate."

About the Featured Artist:
Chelsea Pham is a Vietnamese American graphic designer and illustrator who strives to implement meaningful and thoughtful solutions through art. She finds joy in creating and is always looking to explore other forms of expression.

Artist’s Statement:
"With the end of the year approaching, what better way to reflect on the past twelve months than with this year's Vietnamese zodiac animal - the Tiger. The tiger, prevalent in most Asian cultures, is a symbol of strength and bravery, and I wanted to honor that in my design. The Asian American community and others have risen against hate and violence and I hope to spread awareness of that courage while also celebrating our culture."
