SIGN OUR PETITION We are outraged and heartbroken by the recent killing of 25-year-old Korean American Victoria Lee. Victoria was experiencing a mental health crisis when her family called 911 seeking urgent medical assistance and transportation to a local hospital. Instead, she was shot and killed by a Fort Lee police officer in front of her family. She had her whole life ahead of her. Victoria should still be alive today. Please learn more and sign our petition with Stop AAPI Hate at bit.ly/justiceforv to demand immediate action and ensure that this kind of tragedy doesn't happen again. #JusticeforVictoriaLee

Grateful for the overwhelming support from our community! The Lantern Festival of Justice and Remembrance was truly a beacon of unity, with over 2,000 lanterns lighting up the park. Huge thanks to Bob’s Discount Furniture, The Far Brook School, New York Life’s Asian Pacific Circle, and The Wu Family Foundation for their invaluable contributions. Your generosity has made events like the Lantern Festival for Justice and Remembrance possible, enriching our AAPI Heritage Month programming.

I really enjoyed meeting with other Asian Americans this past weekend at AAPI New Jersey’s Lantern Festival, while highlighting why this event exists.

Exploring the significance of our heritage: Reflecting on the enriching discussions held during the AAPI Heritage Month panel at New York Life, championed by the Asian Pacific Circle ERG. Delving into our history isn't just about honoring the past; it's about shaping our future. Education and awareness are the cornerstone of progress, and these conversations ignited powerful insights for personal and professional growth. Grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our cultural legacy and foster understanding. Chris M. Kwok Mak Asada In Kyung Pyo
