Celebrating AAPI Month

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and our Acupuncturists and bodyworkers have had the tremendous privilege of learning valuable medicines and practices indigenous to East Asia.

Racism against Asian Americans is still rampant in this country, made evident by the mass murder of people of Asian descent in Atlanta and the racist rhetoric and rise in violent acts against Asian Americans due to the coronavirus. It is especially important that those of us who profit from Asian culture and traditions speak out against such atrocities and serve as advocates of and give back to the AAPI community.

Today is Five Point's 7th birthday, so we're donating $700 to the Chinese Mutual Aid Association. CMAA serves Chicago's low income immigrant and refugee community through social services, advocacy, educational programming and assistance for youth, adults, the elderly and small businesses. We encourage you to check them out and consider donating.

We thank our beautifully diverse and generous community for supporting our clinic and East Asian Medicine for the last seven years.
