"By now we're all aware of the recent violence and hate crimes targeting the Asian and Pacific Islander American community. While this may seem like a recent phenomenon, there is nothing new about this hatred and racism. Join us Wednesday, March 31st to learn the broader historical context of this rise in anti-Asian sentiment and violence. We'll unpack present-day expressions of white supremacy, such as the perpetual foreigner stereotype and the model minority myth which pits Asian and Pacific Islander Americans against other racial groups and contributes to anti-Blackness. We'll also discuss the strategies of Asian American activists who have fought for equity, ways to act in solidarity and how to stand against hate and systemic racism, especially when it shows up in our networks and communities."
