aKDPhi Stands in Solidarity with the AAPI Community Against Violence

March 16, 2021

Over the past months we have seen a rise in anti-Asian racism and hate crimes in our communities. We recognize that many of our sisters and the greater Asian community are experiencing grief, discomfort, and anger at these events and at the continuing lack of coverage in the news.

On behalf of the International Leadership Board, we want to be clear that alpha Kappa Delta Phi condemns all acts of racism in our community and stands in solidarity with one another. We see you and are here for you. 

We are cognizant that even in a time of processing our own feelings, thoughts, and trauma; we are still expected to think of others first under the narrative of the ‘model minority myth.’ We encourage everyone to center your needs and share with people who can help protect your peace. 

What we're facing is also a nuanced conversation— as we process our own experiences, we also denounce any anti-blackness that surfaces from decades of historical wounds. We stand committed to healing together and promoting psychological safety, respect, dignity, and justice.

If you are in a place to join in the work against violence in the AAPI community, we encourage you to utilize and share the following resources:

aKDPhi Calls for Solidarity Against Anti-Black Racism

The alpha Kappa Delta Phi International Sorority, Inc. and the alpha Kappa Delta Phi International Foundation condemn anti-Black racism and violence.

alpha Kappa Delta Phi stands with the National APIDA Panhellenic Association (NAPA) in solidarity and to mobilize to speak out against anti-Black racism and violence. We embrace our diverse membership, including those who identify as Black, who share our mission, values, and sense of community. We condemn any acts or sentiments of racism, hate, bigotry, or violence. 

As an Asian-Interest sorority that promotes Asian awareness, we understand that we must not be passive bystanders when witnessing racist actions or police brutality against People of Color (POC). We encourage members of our organization and communities to be agents of change by speaking up and educating others to stand up against racism. This can be done by understanding one’s own cultural history, the experience of minority communities, and our intersectionality. By doing so we educate ourselves and can un-learn internalized prejudices instilled from centuries of colonialism or hardships due to systemic and institutionalized racism. The National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA) stated, “We cannot ask the Black community to fight anti-Asian racism if we are not willing to fight for them. Only together can we make progress against racism and the oppression of minorities. 

Please see below list of resources for being agents of change.
