Description
In this first episode of the limited series AAPI Organizing in the South, five community leaders and organizers talk about coordinating in times of crisis (such as the March 16 Atlanta spa shooting and the Monterey Park shooting), and how mental health awareness plays a big role in individual and collective healing to build a more unified AAPI community. The conversation includes thoughts on Asian hate post COVID, how to show up for each other, how to organize across generations, and the importance of empathy for organizers in the South.
