Hope Over Hate | Inspiring Allyship for Asian American Communities, a Panel Discussion

By |

Grace Farms is hosting an online panel discussion on an interdisciplinary conversation about how we can all work to build awareness around anti-Asian discrimination, identify ways to make a difference, and come together as a community to create lasting social change. — an announcement from Grace Farms

The discusson, “Hope Over Hate: Inspiring Allyship for Asian American Communities,” takes place from 12 noon to 1 p.m. on Wednesday, May 26. The panel will explore how we can engage government, media, corporations, not-for-profits, and educational institutions in support of a more equitable environment for our AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) neighbors. Over the past year, more than 3,800 anti-Asian racist incidents were reported to Stop AAPI Hate, representing only a fraction of the discrimination faced by the AAPI community. As we celebrate National AAPI Heritage Month this May, join Grace Farms Foundation and OCA Fairfield, part of a national organization advocating for AAPI communities, for the discussion.
