DESCRIPTION:From the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 to present-day Public Charge, the 
 U.S. has a history of enacting government-sanctioned efforts denying rights 
 and justice to immigrants and refugees, particularly those from communities 
 of color. In response, Asian Pacific American communities have repeatedly 
 risen and organized against such exclusionary legislation and continue to 
 rally for APIA and other communities' most vulnerable populations to this 
 day. Learn from the experiences and perspectives of intergenerational and 
 cross-cultural community organizing, and how you can become an active agent 
 of change for migrant justice. A panel of community experts will engage in 
 conversation with Harvey Dong,  UC Berkeley professor of Asian American 
 and Asian Diaspora Studies. Panelists include Amy Y. Lin (community 
 member at ASPIRE), Loan Thi Dao (author of Generation 
 Rising), Nathaniel Tan (Co-Director of Asian Prisoner Support Committee), 
 and Sunita Sohrabji (staff reporter at India-West). More info about our 
 speakers are available below.\nThis event is part of the “Community 
 Voices to Empower Change” series in partnership with Eastwind Books of 
 Berkeley. It will be broadcast on Zoom and YouTube Live. Donations are 
 appreciated and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.\n
