ABOUT US
Unfortunately, it took the Anti-Asian Hate Crimes during the pandemic to wake up Spokane's Asian Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (ANHPI) communities to stand united and work together.
​
Spokane’s United We Stand (SUWS) was founded in March 2020 and is the proud organization to host Lunar New Year Event, Asian Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander Heritage Festival and the Diwali Celebration.
We are adding a new event in March 23, 2024 - Holi Celebration of Color.
​
Spokane’s United We Stand was founded to stand up against the anti-Asian violence and rhetoric across the country that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. Our purpose is to promote anti-bullying, anti-racism, anti-oppression, and toleration of all races, cultures, and ethnic backgrounds.
The ANHPI community is made up of many different individual cultural groups, all with their own unique histories and stories. Our goal as an organization is to use the arts (visual, performing and culinary) to promote inclusivity, tolerance, and education of the Asian, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Culture, Heritage & Traditions.
