Celebrate AAPI Heritage Month with Action

By May 1, 2026No Comments

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, a time to honor the resilience, culture, and contributions of our communities while recognizing the ongoing struggles we continue to face. For Southeast Asian families in Stockton and across the Central Valley, this moment is not only about celebration. It is also about protecting our people and investing in our future.

Since 2017, EMAC has been organizing on the ground to defend working class immigrant communities impacted by incarceration, deportation, and systemic harm. From deportation defense to community education and rapid response, this work reflects the legacy of our peoples and the strength of our collective survival. As we uplift our stories this month, we must also resource the movements that keep our communities safe.

We are asking you to make a donation today to sustain this critical work. Your contribution directly supports legal defense funds, advocacy campaigns, and culturally rooted healing spaces for families, homies, and allies.

Give what you can, and if you are able, consider becoming a monthly donor. Consistent support allows us to respond quickly in moments of crisis while building long-term stability for Southeast Asian communities 💚
