Beyond #StopAsianHate: The Way Forward for Asian Americans and Public Policy Prescriptions
This event is part a series dedicated to Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, hosted at the The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Follow and learn more on Twitter with #AAPIatWilson.
Overview
The surge in physical as well as verbal violence since the pandemic has raised awareness of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders’ long-standing battles with racism. The #StopAsianHate movement has not only increased understanding of the history of discrimination against and struggles of AAPIs, but has also increased appreciation for the diversity within the group. Join us for a discussion on how anti-Asian hate has united AAPIs across the United States, the challenges ahead for consensus and collective AAPI action, and prospects for moving forward with policies that will strengthen the voice of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the country.
This event will be webcast live on this webpage. You may submit questions for the speakers by tagging @AsiaProgram on Twitter or via email to asia@wilsoncenter.org.
