Make Us Visible empowers local communities to integrate Asian American contributions, experiences, and histories in K-12 classrooms.
Community
All it takes is one conversation to start a movement. Whether at the dinner table or on a walk, we encourage you to share your stories with each other and be the voice your community needs. To make us visible, it begins with you.
Advocacy
Our work is largely driven by people who never thought they would get involved in the political process. From holding rallies to engaging with legislators in one-on-one meetings, advocacy takes shape in various forms.
Education
No matter where you are in the process, curriculum integration can begin anytime. We have built relationships with teachers, students, parents, and administrators through ongoing projects to help guide you along the way.
Our Vision
Our goal is to provide every community with the support and resources necessary for them to begin their conversations on Asian American history.

I think education is the way we can really make these long-term changes. We want our kids to see that Asian Americans have been in the U.S., have made contributions, and are an important part of our community.

I really feel as an educator that ignorance needs to be fought with knowledge and knowledge is power.
Mimi Chan
MUV FL Director
I think when we’re missing in history, that perpetuates the notion that we are not part of this country. And that has to change, because we are very much part of the fabric of this country and the shaping of the U.S.

Created in partnership with Admerasia
Our state chapters continue to be 100% volunteer-driven and have successfully passed state-wide education bills, empowered Asian Americans to serve in local public office, and strengthened communities across districts and states.
