Giving Tuesday may be past, but the need for what Pork Filled does remains the same.

Some of the Pork Filled Producers were shooting the breeze the other day. Talking about the past year (State of the Pork, hm?), talking about the future. And we started talking about why we produce…

“There is no other place where I feel seen and fully embrace my full self as an Asian American artist. I’ve seen so many talented and overlooked creatives in this field feel propped up, valued, respected, and seen in the work we do. We provide a much-needed gap in the Asian American community where we can be in community together, we can be seen together, and we can be Asian together.”

“We get to call our own shots. There’s no higher up tapping us on the shoulder and saying, ‘We don’t think our audience would understand that.’ ‘Cause we damn well know that audience (which is always white in their head) is smart enough to understand!”

“There is a desire to care for all artists. Whether that’s in food, time, or money. I know we don’t pay much but there is a constant drive to pay more, feed more, and supply a better system of care.”

And we think that resonates with you. You support what we do, both with attendance and donations.

The end of the year is coming, but there’s still time to give PFP a running start for 2026. $10 at a time, $25 at a time…it all adds up. And we still a donor willing to match your gift up to $1,250. You can give and double your impact!
