Today as we continue to discuss City's budget, we have the opportunity to make the API Equity Fund a reality and stabilize our struggling community partners that have been serving vulnerable AAPI members. Stand with us against anti-Asian attacks now. @api_council
S.F. supervisors are proposing to invest $118 million in the Asian and Pacific Islander community, four months after the city apologized for decades of sanctioned discrimination against early Chinese residents.

The API Equity Fund is an investment for infrastructure and capital improvements for San Francisco’s community organizations serving working families. Investing in the AAPI community means we need community investment and the inclusion of Filipino, Vietnamese, Samoan and others.

While API communities face increased threats – from violence, displacement, and gentrification – we must invest in their stability, security, and resilience.
I’m proud to partner with @conniechansf @AaronPeskin & @api_council on this historic investment.
