I want to spread the word on here about Asian Boss.
They are an independent media company that focuses on the many pressing issues within the global asian community, aiming to showcase the diversity of asia, hosting in-depth interviews to recognize various asian voices and tackle topics such as comfort women in ww2, the importance of sex education, the discrimation towards asians in this time of COVID-19, the dangers of mental health stigma, colourism towards darker skinned asians and anti-blackness in general, the homophobia in our community, and MANY more. In addition to this, they have raised several fundraisers, including one that raised enough money to pay for the highschool tuition of a teen mom in the philippines. They have done so many great things with their platform, but.
Unfortunately, they are currently months away from being shut down due to the lack of funding because of the pandemic. Linked is their video on it where they further discuss the situation.
Information is vital, and I am sad to see this happen to an organization that has been so helpful in spreading knowledge about asian issues and supporting asian voices. Here is their gofundme, any donations can help, reblogging and spreading the word can help a lot as well! So far they have raised $21,962. Please boost!
