Cross-Generational Asian & Pacific Islander Panel Talks Anti-AAPI Attacks
We see, empathize with, and support our Asian & Pacific Islander brothers, sisters, and non-binary friends. We each shoulder the responsibility as human beings to collectively stand against hate in any community, just for existing. For this reason, we wanted to have a very timely conversation with the Asian American Pacific Islander Community across all generational groups about their feelings, their thoughts, and their experiences concerning the current violence being inflicted upon Asian Americans in the United States.
