This teleconference is geared towards Asian-identified people to learn from one another how to practice respectful solidarity within the Black Lives Matter movement. Though the conference is focused on those who don’t directly experience American anti-Blackness, we also invite individuals who identify as Black--particularly Black Asians--to attend. We do not expect these voices to teach us; we want you to participate in whatever way feels right (just listening, sharing stories, etc). We see our struggles as bound up in those of Black people, and we are all accountable to the task of dismantling anti-Blackness.
It will be hosted on MARCH 15TH AT 2-4PM via Google Hangout.
Thank you for your interest in participating. Since this is a communal learning space, we will be hosting a facilitated discussion where participants will share knowledge. Below are some questions we have to get that process started.
