Good Community: Supporting Asian American and Pacific Islander Organizations
When we published our “Good Community Is Community That Works For Everyone” blog, we talked about how a good community needs input, guidance, and nurturing from all angles.
As an industry, we must acknowledge that Asian and Pacific Islander communities have and will continue to play a huge role in the development of video games. Some of the most nostalgic characters and innovative game technologies come from brilliant Asian and Pacific Islander creators in all facets of game production and at all levels of development.
We invite you to join us in supporting the following organizations and learning more about their work to protect and uplift our friends in the Asian and Pacific Islander communities:
