Who's Hosting This Event?

Austin Asian Communities Civic Coalition
Who We Are:

The Austin Asian Communities Civic Coalition (formerly Austin Asian Complete Count Committee) was formed to ensure that Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs), the fastest-growing population in Central Texas, are accurately counted during the 2020 Census and have our voices heard during the November 3 General Election.

We aim to engage, inform, and motivate the AAPI community to become more civically engaged.

Since the murder of Asian women in Atlanta this week, the Asian community has been filled with grief and outrage. During the pandemic, criminal activities against Asians have become rampant, and AAPIs have been living in fear for months now.

We are holding a candlelight vigil this Saturday night to commemorate the innocent lives lost, and to offer support for each other, to not mourn in isolation, and to encourage all to speak up.

We call on society to pay more attention to anti-Asian crimes and on the people of the United States to declare war on hate and crime! #StopAsianHate
