Project 1907 https://www.project1907.org/resources is a grassroots collective led by Asian women, who aim to elevate Asian voices that are “underrepresented and undervalued in mainstream, political, social and cultural discourse.” Their network is made up of an entirely volunteer-based community. Their website offers a multitude of resources on allyship, solidarity and movement building. They also have sections devoted to self-care and healing for those who have experienced racism, hate and violence.
