Along with artist and curator Larry Lee, Anida and Marlon began to merge with the FAAIM, another Asian-American artist collective. They felt the need to collectivize across Asian ethnic lines in reaction to the anti-Muslim climate following the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001. With their members’ heightened awareness of anti-Asian violence, the Collective distributed information packets called "Remembering Vincent Chin" and "RE:9/11".
