API Rainbow Parents’ mission is to support, educate, and advocate. Though we can’t be with each other in person during this pandemic, we continue to create a safe and supportive space for our community. To celebrate AAPI Heritage Month, we want to bring everyone together to this big family by hosting a virtual story-sharing event, featuring API LGBTQ folks and parents sharing stories about their journey through love and acceptance. We hope this event will unite us with love and support amidst the rise of anti-Asian violence throughout the states and hard times from pandemic.
