Standing up to Anti-Asian Hate (Pop-up Event) (Past event)

With Soyoung Park

In light of recent events, the Startover team has decided to hold space for stories about the effects of anti-Asian hate and racism. Soyoung will join Susie in discussing these stories, the history of racism with the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, and how we start to battle these effects with concrete steps that we can take in order to be upstanders and not bystanders.

• How can we better understand the Asian American experience?
• Why are so many Americans and the media so reticent to call crimes against Asian Americans hate crimes?
• What can we do to "start over" and be upstanders, not bystanders?
