TAAF publishes research, convenes the community, and invests in innovative programming with local partners to address the most persistent challenges our communities are facing.
Promoting Safety
Safety remains the top overall concern for our community nationwide and will continue to be a priority for TAAF. Our efforts will focus on initiatives that enhance safety by preventing and reducing physical attacks, verbal harassment, and other bias-driven harm, including robberies.
Fostering Belonging
Our research indicates that misrepresentation and misinformation are the most prevalent negative experiences impacting our community. TAAF remains committed to education and narrative change, working to dismantle harmful stereotypes—such as the model minority myth, the perpetual foreigner perception, and the yellow peril narrative—and build greater belonging for our community.
Advancing Prosperity
In economic opportunity, which is the second highest priority for our community overall, we will focus on efforts that promote leadership development and success, improve access to better job opportunities, and provide meaningful support to AANHPI small businesses.
