The entire Society of Illustrators staff and Board of Directors stands in solidarity with the Asian American Pacific Islander Community. We are saddened by acts of violence towards the AAPI community and denounce all acts of hate and racism.  We value Asian Americans as important members of our community, and we are committed to providing a safe, creative space for all to express themselves free from discrimination and harassment. We continue to be dedicated to the principles of equity, access, and inclusion of diverse populations in all of our organizational and business efforts.
