Education and Providing a Critical Hope Foundation for our Students and Communities
May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and we are in the midst of Educator Appreciation Week (May 4-8). In light of this, The Peoples Collective for Justice & Liberation is excited to announce our next in the #BuildingSolidarity series: A Townhall on Education and Providing a Critical Hope Foundation for our Students and Communities.
The People’s Collective will engage folks across the country and globe to be a part of a movement that addresses Anti-Asian Racism and builds cross racial solidarity with other communities of color. We organize with an intersectional, multi-generational and cross sector framework.
