New Digital Directory Launch in Partnership with Decoded Advertising
In February 2021, we pilot launched a Small Business Digital Directory focused on Chinatown with the help of ad agency Decoded. We wanted to create a hyperlocal digital community, by the community, that provided updated and useful information while also providing a platform for businesses that often have no digital presence.
Our 2020 Financial Update: A Year of Turning Loss to Light
We’re back with another financial update and to take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate our collective effort to shed light and love on Chinatown, a beloved community by so many, and a precious one whose history, cultural significance and spirit is one we fight for every day.
In 2020, together, we raised $677,000 where 77% of all funds raised go back directly into Chinatown — that’s more than half a million dollars back into Chinatown’s small businesses ($521,290).
Anti-Asian Racism: What You Can Do to Help
This time last year, before COVID-19 made its way to NYC, we witnessed xenophobia’s impact on Chinatown, a place of historical and cultural significance for Asian Americans. We founded our organization because anti-Asian sentiments and attacks exposed our community’s vulnerability to discrimination alongside systematic oppression that prevents fair access to resources such as aid and capital. Though anti-Asian sentiments have risen over the past year, they are not new.
