CHASI presents a series of illustrations and blog posts to acknowledge some of the significant annual observances which align with our core values. CHASI’s goal is to turn knowledge into action, and in keeping with our community-minded approach, we believe that it is essential to recognize the current and historical contexts in which our communities exist. Only by understanding the experiences of those who make up our community can we hope to create meaningful change. We hope that you will take moment to join us in learning about these important topics.
