Message of Solidarity with the AAPI Community

PFP stands with Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities and forcefully condemns the racist violence targeting Asians here and around the country. 

Anti-Asian racism is not new and no matter the reasons given, a culture of racism and misogyny that treats the lives and bodies of non-white people, women, working class people, and especially sex-workers as disposable led to this violence.

As parents and caregivers it is our responsibility to interrupt narratives, language, or acts of hate.  We need to engage our children in ongoing conversations about race and gender in which we both support their positive identities and teach the need to work for justice.

 We would like to reaffirm that Philadelphia Family Pride is committed to continuing our work to root out racism and sexism in LGBTQ+ communities and call out these disparities, reminding folks of the value of every person.
