During the Covid-19/Coronavirus reality we are living with now, we are noticing anti-Asian discrimination (and xenophobia in general) getting worse (again). During this conversation, we will focus on how to be messengers of appreciation instead of participants promoting xenophobic hate rhetoric (or supporting it by being silent).

Our discussion questions:

1. What is something you appreciate about first generation immigrants (in general or a specific immigrant)?
2. Where/when have you personally experienced messages of hate showing up and how did you respond?
3. What could be better responses? (we will brainstorm together)
4. What are some public displays of support we could do?
5. In what ways could we act that would make changes systemically (against xenophobic hate rhetoric)?

Zoom (remote call) details are posted on our Meetup page.

All are welcome.
