SUMMARY:Racism Against Asians - SAMHIN's Response
DESCRIPTION:South Asians\, like all other Asians in the U.S.\, generally do not speak up when they have been wronged. They hide and quietly bear their wounds and insults to try to feel accepted. Events of the past year have begun to change that. The resulting outrage and outcries have slowly allowed the Asian voices to rise and be heard finally. \nWe believe racism is yet another pandemic. Join us for free a webinar\, Racism Against Asians – SAMHIN’s response\, to learn how you can fight racism. \nDownload Event Flyer \nWebinar Link\nUse this link to join the webinar on May 16 at 11:00 AM ET: Join Webinar
