In honor of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, in May, we celebrate the exceptional achievements of our founders who identify as Asian or Pacific Islander. And we join in solidarity with all people of Asian descent — this month, every month, always.

During the past year alone, our nation has witnessed an alarming increase in violence and hate crimes against Asian people. We must do everything in our power and in our actions, as individuals and as organizations, to call out injustice and stand against racism in all its forms.

We are grateful to Siqi Mou and Kailu Guan, co-founders of GBC portfolio company Hello Ava Beauty, for sharing how each of us can help support the Asian community and #StopAsianHate.

Below are some leading organizations working everyday in the fight for social justice, ending racism, education and community building. Please join us in giving them your support.
