ASIAN ROUNDTABLE OF COLORADO (ARC)
The Asian Roundtable of Colorado is proud to partner with Insight Colab Theatre in support of AANHPI storytelling and community connection in Colorado. The mission of The Asian Roundtable of Colorado is to empower Colorado Asian and Pacific Islander communities by providing a forum to discuss and act upon issues of mutual concern. One of ARC’s programs, Action Against Hate, addresses hate and bias through community leadership, reporting, and advocacy, and welcomes leaders from all backgrounds.

ACTION AGAINST HATE
The Action Against Hate campaign was created by the Asian Roundtable of Colorado (ARC) to empower AAPI individuals and communities through meaningful dialogue and innovative solutions, supporting the most vulnerable among us.

In response to rising hate-related incidents, Action Against Hate identified gaps in services for individuals facing barriers such as language, culture, economics, access, and other inequities. We are now expanding our mission to empower individuals and communities of all backgrounds.
