63] –Invisible No Longer: Confronting Anti-Asian Racism and Building Community Resistance will be the topic on Thurs., May 20 from 7 to 8 PM EDT. Register at http://masspeaceaction.org/event/invisible-no-longer-confronting-anti-asian-racism-and-building-community-resistance/?emci=807f0404-a7b6-eb11-a7ad-0050f271b5d8&emdi=ebf43999-0bb7-eb11-a7ad-0050f271b5d8&ceid=269591. Reports of anti-Asian racism throughout the U.S. have surged during the Covid-19 pandemic, but have not been the subject of sustained public attention until recent months. The deadly March 16th Atlanta spa shootings, along with a spike in lethal attacks against persons of Asian descent, have brought increased visibility to a form of racism that has historically been given short shrift in discourses about racism in America. Michael Liu and Kent Wong, noted scholar-activists and experts on community resistance, will explain the current complexities and longstanding histories of anti-Asian racism.
