CPHA celebrates APIDA communities and individuals. Your presence enriches campus, every community you are a part of, and the world. We stand in support of all APIDA communities and in solidarity with everyone who opposes racism, discrimination, and violence. We stand against white supremacy and condemn the violence against people in APIDA communities that has risen during the pandemic but has historically always been present. Discrimination and violence against anyone anywhere at any time is unacceptable, and we will not be silent.
We know that statements like this do not fix broken situations. But we share it in expression of solidarity and support — and we urge action and underscore the importance of education and raising awareness about APIDA histories and cultures to stop violence and discrimination.
We stand with APIDA members of the UW-Madison community (and the world) as allies. We need and value you. And we call all allies to do anti-racist, liberation work that addresses racism and injustice. We all can and need to work to make the world more like it could and should be.
