From local to global: Asians and Asian Americans on the side of Racial Justice, Climate Justice, and Gender Justice

Lecture by Helena Wong

How should Asians and Asian Americans be relating to social movements of our time like Black Lives Matter, Standing Rock, and Not1More? How are grassroots organizers in Asian communities around the country pushing back against gentrification, discriminatory policing, environmental racism, and what happens when communities are hit with (un)natural disasters? How do we understand what is happening in China and bring it back to what it means to organize with a racial and gender justice lens here in the US?
