2016 Advancing Justice Conference

March 30-31 at the Westin Bonventure Hotel in Los Angeles.



Heads up. The 2016 Advancing Justice Conference is the first and only national conference in the Asian American and Pacific Islander community focusing on civil rights and social justice. It's happening March 30-31 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites in Los Angeles.

Over 700 AAPIs from across the U.S. will come together to address issues facing our fastest growing populations. The theme will focus on civic engagement and building our electoral and social power in support of economic and racial justice. Conference attendees will participate in two days of panel discussions, caucus sessions, skills and capacity building, trainings, and networking receptions.

It's going to be a great conference. I have the pleasure of moderating the panel "Making Media That Moves" featuring Fracesca Fiorentini of AJ+, Eugene Lee Yang of BuzzFeed, and Jenny Yang of Disoriented Comedy. We'll be talking about producing and disseminating content that is entertaining, engaging and inspires action.

Hope to see you there.

Registration for the conference will be available on site. For further information about the Advancing Justice Conference, including the full schedule of plenaries, panels and speakers, go here.
