A Townhall on The Roots of Structural Racism, The Impact Under COVID-19 and the Importance of Cross-Racial Solidarity
We facilitated a conversation on racism, COVID-19 and solidarity in the time of a global pandemic by having a group of Asian American and people of color speakers we are in community with during Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. A panel discussion was followed by a healing circle with practices to share as part of Mental Health Awareness Month.
