Asian Americans United (AAU) was awarded a grant to support its Anti-Asian Violence Healing Initiative. Serving primarily Asian immigrant communities in Philadelphia, the initiative convened youth to process and respond to the rise in anti-Asian violence through advocacy, education, and collective healing. The program also brought together Asian and BIPOC organizations to share strategies for community intervention, with key learnings presented at the annual Chinatown Mid-Autumn Festival to strengthen community-wide dialogue and resilience.
