Our Focus
Here at Asians Unite America, we are driven by a single goal; to do our part in making the world a better place for all. We are a group of high school students in Burke, VA. Even in today's technologically advanced and progressive society, issues like racism are a rampant problem. Difficulty determining fact from fiction, misleading government officials, and xenophobia are all catalysts for these problems. Because racism and xenophobia still exist in today's society, we want to take positive steps to end them and promote equality and a better life for all.
"If you are fortunate to have opportunity, it is your duty to make sure other people have those opportunities as well."Vice President Kamala Harris

About Us
Asians Unite America was founded in 2020 by Rohan Puri, currently a senior in high school who wants to make a difference in the world.
Rohan Puri
Rohan was inspired to form AUA after his aunt was harassed at a convenience store by a woman who cursed at her and said "Go back to India." After hearing about her experience he realized he had to do something about it, and so Asians Unite America was born.
Yasemin Tanyu
Being raised as a multicultural child in America, Yasemin has always felt the need to embrace different cultures to show others how important it is when it comes to inclusion and diversity. As someone who grew up with a lot of resources and privileges, Yasemin wants to contribute in order to learn from others and help others cherish their differences.
Vaishnavi Punaji
Growing up, Vaishnavi experienced casual and normalized racism almost daily. It affected everything from how she pronounced her name to the way she wore her hair. In the recent years, Vaishnavi has grown to love and have pride in her culture for all the beauty that it is, and she hopes to help others feel the same way.
