Make Us Visible PA

We are a coalition of students, parents, educators, legislators, professionals, and community members advocating for the thoughtful and comprehensive inclusion of Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) studies into the K-12 curriculum for Pennsylvania public schools. Our focus is on educating communities across the commonwealth on both the triumphs and tragedies experienced by Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders in the U.S. throughout our nations history. After multiple anti-Asian hate incidents sent shock waves through Montgomery County in 2021, residents come together to address the underlying issues of bullying and violence within their communities and support their fellow community members. This resulted in the formation of several grassroots organizations whose overlapping goals included strengthening and uplifting underrepresented communities. Make Us Visible PA was a result of these organizations coalescing. The fact that our membership continues to grow is a testament to how vital this movement is.
