With more than 100 cases of Coronavirus-related discrimination being reported on a daily basis, the need for the Asian American community to fight back against anti-Asian racism is now stronger than ever. The lack of Asian American inclusion in mainstream media and school curriculum, in addition to the misinformation surrounding the COVID-19 virus, perpetuates xenophobia and racism against our community.
Act To Change brings you COVID-19 CONVOS, a series of virtual conversations to share ways in which parents, educators, students, and community members can come together to protect the Asian American and Pacific Islander community from discrimination.
COVID-19 CONVOS #2: Rising Above Bullying and Hate, streaming live on Friday, April 17 at 1:00pm ET, will feature panelists Maulik Pancholy (Actor, Author & Co-Founder of Act To Change), Sarah Ha (Vice President, National Community Alliances at Teach For America) and Randall Park (Writer, Producer and Actor, Always Be My Maybe and Fresh Off The Boat).
