May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month

YWCA St. Paul celebrates Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month to honor the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of AANHPI communities while acknowledging the challenges they continue to face. As an organization committed to racial justice and gender equity, we uplift AANHPI voices, advocate for policies that protect and empower AANHPI women and families, and stand against racism and discrimination in all forms. This month is a time to celebrate resilience, amplify stories, and reaffirm our commitment to a more just and inclusive future for all.

This year, we encourage our community to take part in AANHPI Awareness Month by celebrating the 50th anniversary of several Southeast Asian communities’ arrival in Minnesota. For more ways to celebrate, check out these links: 

From all of us at YWCA St. Paul, happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Awareness Month!
