And @eastbaycf to identify and support several community groups who have been working hard to strengthen ties within our community. The $25k that was originally offered as a reward to catch the person who shoved the 91 year old to the ground in Oakland Chinatown was put into this fund.

Happy New Breath, everyone! I’m excited to announce that this week, New Breath Foundation is distributing $130,000 in grants to twelve community-based organizations to decrease violence against the Asian American community, promote cross-racial solidarity, and advance effective alternatives to criminalization.
I’m very thankful to everyone who has invested in this initial round to support the incredible work everyone is doing across the country. We also appreciate the individuals who utilize their public platforms to raise awareness and contribute. We especially want to thank actor Daniel Wu (@thatdanielwu) for being one of the first supporters to kickstart this fund.
These grants are part of a new collaboration with the East Bay Community Foundation (@eastbaycf) and other philanthropic partners.
NBF grew out of the grassroots movements to end mass incarceration, address immigration/deportation issues, and advance racial justice and solidarity. We hope to build long-term infrastructure to advance movements for equity and justice.
This is just the beginning. I look forward to sharing more soon.
