what is c.a.r.e.?
C.A.R.E. (Community Action & Response Efforts) campaign calls on our community to keep each other safer by promoting community care practices and existing services that do not rely on police or the carceral system. This campaign will take the form of pod-mapping exercises, emergency contact cards, and posters.
We seek to engage the Asian and Asian American communities and businesses in pledging to build relationships, support and care— especially during emergency situations.
We recognize that we are targeted differently than Black people, while also recognizing the parallel systems of state violence that harm our communities. Through this campaign we hope to continue to create community care practices and work towards collective liberation for all communities. We are not free until we all get free.
