DESCRIPTION:Abolitionist feminists discuss how white supremacy and criminalization 
 shape the experiences of gendered racial violence for Asian people.\n\nDate 
 and time: Wed, June 16, 2021 @ 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM PDT\n\nRSVP: 
 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beyond-stopasianhate-criminalization-gender-asian-abolition-feminism-tickets-157813100231\n\n\nJoin 
 us for a panel discussion with (Southeast and East) Asian American 
 abolitionist organizers on how white supremacy and criminalization shape 
 the experiences of gendered racial violence for Asian people. \n\nPanelists 
 will focus on the ways that stigma, abandonment, and violence from within 
 Asian American communities can lead to false solutions and increased harm 
 for the most vulnerable among us. In doing so, we will explore what 
 organizing looks like and the interventions that Asian American 
 abolitionist feminists are making in our political work and in our 
 lives.\n\n\nSPEAKERS:\n\nYves Tong Nguyen (they/she) is a queer and
