Stop Anti-Asian Hate Teach-In!

By People's Action

Targeted violence against Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) is on the rise - particularly against women and the elderly. This is fueled by anti-Asian rhetoric and anxiety about the COVID-19 pandemic. What can we do to stop this rising tide of hate?
Join Councilmember Nelsie Yang, the first Hmong-American elected to the St. Paul City Council, Emily Lee, director of San Francisco Rising, Asma Elhuni, movement politics director of Rights & Democracy New Hampshire, Tobita Chow and Sandy Shan from Justice is Global, and Connie Huynh, director of the People's Action Health Care for All campaign and leader with AF3IRM, a transnational feminist organizing collective, and other guests for this special teach-in to stop Anti-AAPI hate.
We will dig in to the origins of Anti-AAPI sentiment from the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 through the Atlanta shootings this March, and focus on how we can take action together so everyone in our communities feels safe.
