The past few years have witnessed energetic and innovative forms of activism among Asian Americans contending against rising anti-Asian racism and violence. What does contemporary Asian American activism look like, especially in the context of movements for racial justice, the Covid-19 pandemic, heightened U.S.-China tensions, and wars in the Middle East and beyond? In this panel, Asian American leaders working for change on several issues—gun violence, reproductive justice, ethnic studies education, reproductive justice, voting rights, and more—talk about the principles and practices of contemporary Asian American activism.

Panelists:

•Andrea Chu, Asian Americans Advancing Justice - Chicago
•Regina Tsang, Rising Voices
•Dr. Tsu-Yin Wu, Center for Health Disparities Innovation and Studies

Moderated by Melissa Borja, American Culture.
