Rise AAPI

We are a Texas-based and Texas-led organization working to unite, organize, and support the progressive AAPI community in Texas.

[ATJ Action Fund @atjactionfund]

Big news: We’ve launched the ATJ Action Fund, a new 501(c)(4) advocacy org rooted in community and built for power.

Led by Asian Texans for Justice & @RiseAAPI, we're taking the fight for AAPI political power in Texas to the next level.

12 years ago, 26 lives were tragically lost at Sandy Hook Elementary–20 of them just 6 and 7 years old.

It's long overdue for our elected officials to pass common-sense gun laws to protect Americans and prevent gun violence.

Call your reps today and tell them to act NOW.

From the @RiseAAPI Family to yours...happy Thanksgiving! This year and every year, we're taking time to learn more about the Indigenous land that we live on and taking steps to honor BIPOC equity and justice, always.

Studies show that OB/GYN physicians in Texas aren't giving up, even despite Texas laws that prevent them from treating their patients with evidence-based medicine.

Texans deserve better.
