API Equality – Northern California (APIENC) works to build LGBTQ API power by amplifying our voices and increasing visibility to our communities. Through organizing, we inspire and train leaders, establish intergenerational connections, and document and disseminate our histories. The Dragon Fruit Project is a program of APIENC and is an intergenerational oral history project that explores queer Asian Pacific Islanders and their experiences with love and activism in the 1960s – 90s.
