Community Conversations: Anti-Racism includes AAPI Communities at Rattlestick Playwrights Theater

Hosted by Sam Morreale with Danilo Gambini and Kazem Ghouchani

In the past year, hate crimes toward Asians, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders have risen. This gathering seeks to build solidarity and understanding with AAPI communities. If you identify within the Asian diaspora, this is a space for your hurt, grief, pain, resentment, and most importantly your needs to be heard. For those of us outside of the diaspora, we will practice listening and take time to discuss our own complicity in anti-Asian sentiments. We will center on Asian women in our conversation. We will form strategies for cross-racial coalition building in our fights for justice, for liberation, and for a culture of anti-oppression. Our time together will be spent in both affinity, and collective space - come as you are and for what you need.
