May 1 marked the beginning of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, where we acknowledge and celebrate the ways members of the AAPI community have contributed to our country’s character.
The recent rise in racially motivated attacks and hate crimes against the AAPI community is abhorrent. We want to provide extra support for our AAPI friends during this time. In that spirit, Tandem has made a $20,000 contribution split among five organizations doing important work in our community and country:
Asian Americans Advancing Justice | Chicago
National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum
Asian Mental Health Collective
Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance
Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund
These organizations were selected based on discussions with Tandem employees as part of our long-term, purposeful investment in causes meaningful to us and our communities.
Tandem stands firmly with the AAPI community against anti-Asian violence. If you’d like to learn more about how you can help, we recommend this list of anti-Asian violence resources created by the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance.
