DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of performance and conversations that reflect on how 
 Asian Americans have historically used political protest and organizing to 
 advance their community objectives.\n\nIn a live storytelling performance, 
 Emily Kwong (NPR host and founder of Inheriting and Shortwave podcasts) and 
 Nicole Salaver (Balay Kreative) will share the legacy of Filipino civil 
 rights leader Patrick Salaver, one of the leaders behind the Third World 
 Liberation Front at San Francisco State University in the late 1960s. The 
 movement brought ethnic studies programs to colleges nationwide and laid 
 critical groundwork for cross-racial solidarity organizing.\n\nBay Area 
 journalist Cecilia Lei will also moderate two panels that will discuss 
 present-day Asian American activism and organizing: One will feature 
 Russell Jeung (co-founder of the Stop AAPI Hate movement) and journalist 
 Greg Wong (SF Examiner) who will discuss the significance of the Stop AAPI 
 Hate movement and its influence on local elections in November.\n\nIn a 
 second discussion, Cecilia will be joined by organizers representing 
 different Asian American groups: Gia Vang (The Very Asian Foundation), 
 Janie Chen (Asian Health Services) and Pyxie Castillo (GABRIELA USA) who 
 will each share their commitments to solidarity, the challenges they face 
 in their work and how they're making progress in their respective 
 communities.\n\n$17.25.\n
