APIDA Solidarity Forum: A Space for Healing, Acknowledgment, and Community Building

Monday, May 24
2:30 pm - 4:00 pm PST

Faced with a significant increase in violence against Asians and Asian Americans in the U.S., the Graduate School of Education at UCR is hosting a forum for APIDA identifying students, staff, and faculty to come together and share space with one another in solidarity. The Asian-American experience has a long and resilient history. From our history, we also know that anti-Asian racism is not new. This forum thus presents an opportunity for APIDA members in the GSOE community to create and find a space to connect, reflect, and organize. We will begin the forum with a few opening statements from the moderators and follow with breakout rooms led by co-moderators for open discussions. Again we invite the GSOE APIDA community and its allies to come and reflect on the pan Asian American experience together.
