Project by Project (PbP) Los Angeles is excited to announce Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC)’s Sustainable Little Tokyo (SLT) program as our 2021 beneficiary partner for our campaign theme, Asian Americans and the Environment.

It is not a new development that AAPIs are against and actively work to fight forms of oppression in support of the Black community. From even before the American Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s to recent events surrounding the murder of George Floyd at the hands of white police, AAPIs have and will continue to be allies to the Black Lives Matter movement. We aim to further dispel the myth of the “model minority,” which often paints the AAPI community as often silent or undeserving to take part in dialogue about race and inequality.

Even as we are taking measures to flatten the curve of COVID-19, now more than ever is a time to show as much support to fellow community members, representatives and more! To spread awareness and still remain civically involved, you can take these seven steps to connect to your community from home.
