"Many stories matter. Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize.
Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity."

Why Are We a Student Run Organization?
Change must happen NOW.Racism kills. It is a problem that must be solved as soon as possible. We cannot wait until we turn 18.
|
Student experiences inform change.As students, we get a current idea of what the curriculum is, and what needs to be reformed.
|
Community connections.Students can interact with other students, parents, and teachers to make curriculum change that works for everyone.

How we are helping
ECAAR is dedicated to Asian Pacific American (AKA. Asian American Pacific Islander or AAPI) history, but we also want to lift up other organizations and people, because our goals are the same: ending racism.
AAPI History, StructurallyWe want to ensure the teaching of Asian and Asian American history in our schools. We are writing curricula and collaborating with teachers and students.
|
AAPI History, non StructurallySchool is important, but there are other ways to learn. We are hosting a webinar this year to educate people on AAPI history, and are working on other resources too.
|
Community BuildingWe want to build a community that lifts others up and helps them thrive. We feature AAPI organizations, artists, journalists, writers and more.
