Material support, direct relief aid: Cam's Legal Defense Fund Media Toolkit + Cam's GoFundMe "Cam Trần is a Vietnamese mother of two young children, who first immigrated to the U.S. in 2009. She was deported in 2019 for an act of self-defense against her abuser. Like over 90% of incarcerated women, Cam is a survivor of domestic and sexual violence and, like many Southeast Asian immigrants and refugees, her deportation was an act of anti-Asian violence. Cam has an opportunity to return home, but we need to fundraise $10,000 by December 2021 ($1,250 each month) to pay for her legal representation for post-conviction relief. We hope your community support will bring her one step closer to reuniting with her children. Please donate, share this fundraiser and toolkit, and sign up for updates/more ways to be involved!" *** Recorded April 16th, 2021. Part 1 of 2 part convo. Welcoming An, a Californi(An) comrade.

Tri and Adnan speak to the murder of 20 year old son, father, and young adult Daunte Wright by firmly reinforcing the platform for why police reform is ruling class re-commodification of safety that sells itself as a universal good, yet persists in protecting only the quality of life of class-ascendant, exceedingly White-bodied peoples. In Minnesota, police reforms only spell the repackaged and prolonged dispossession of life and community-oriented protection and care of low-income, neocolonized peoples like Wright, Dolal Idd, Isak Aden, Fong Lee, Jamar Clark, Philando Castile, George Floyd, to only name a few of many people killed by the foot soldiers of MN state-sanctioned police violence.

Recorded in fits and starts on Wednesday March 17th after 9pm CST. Joan, Việt name Thùy Nam, shares how working at her mom's nail salon was more formative to all the work she does now than any formal education could ever give her. We mourn and speak to the forces that may have been active in the 2021 Atlanta spa shootings that claimed the lives of eight people, six of whom were women of Northeast Asian descent along with a White man and woman, with one survivor. Check out The SEAD Project, a Southeast Asian Diaspora focused org that Joan leads Vietnamese language learning programming at, and where Tri currently serves as a digital organizer. Find us at www.theSEADproject.org. Learn about Taproots Collective, the self-defense training community group that Joan and two fellow Viet co-founders are piloting as a private Facebook group with hopes of healthy and meaningful growth. From their About Us: "Xin chào các bạn! Taproots formed out of a collaboration between the Viet Healing Network and Viet Solidarity Action Network With sensitivity to personal lived experiences and the inherited traumas from the colonial history of Vietnam, we provide space for Vietnamese in the movements to build strength through self-defense and self care practices. By offering collective training and peer support we empower each other to form resilient communities that can adapt, heal, and address systemic issues that lead to interpersonal violence." Email glammump@gmail.com if you'd like to get in touch with Joan about Taproots Collective or any of the other cool and go-getter things she's building today, owing so much to the nail salon that her má built.

This is a statement from the APIDA (Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi) + Christianity Life Together group of New City Church in response to the mass shooting in Atlanta this week. New City Church is based out of Minneapolis, MN. Details for Sunday morning worship, Life Together groups (all of which you can participate in virtually) and more are on their website. Website: http://grownewcity.church/ Facebook: facebook.com/GrowNewCity Instagram: @grownewcity Watch the statement here. Statement: New City Church is horrified by the mass shooting in Georgia. We grieve with the families of the victims and all who mourn their loss. Park Soon Chung, Hyun Jung Grant, Kim Suncha, Yue Yong Ae, Xiaojie Tan (谭小杰）, Daoyou Feng, Delaina Ashley Yaun, Paul Andre Michels. Six of the eight people killed were Asian. Seven were women. This attack is part of a long pattern of anti-Asian racism, xenophobia, racialized misogyny, toxic masculinity, exotification, and fetishization. Before the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, Chinese women were specifically targeted with the Page Act, which barred them from entering the country on the grounds that these “immoral Chinese women” would become sex workers. Abroad, U.S. imperialism in Asia has created and perpetuated a racialized, misogynist narrative of Asian women as objects of military conquest. In the past year there has been a marked rise in anti-Asian violence that disproportionately targets women and the elderly. The shooting in Georgia is the most egregious example of a larger and longer history of violence. Likewise, the continued cultural stigma and hatred against sex workers, particularly female and trans sex workers, continues to drive violence against all women, whether they are sex workers or not. We also recognize the systemic violence that is done to migrant workers, including sex workers, by criminalization and deportation. At New City Church, we denounce in no uncertain terms the white supremacy, purity culture, racialized misogyny, toxic masculinity, and gun culture that converged in this murderous event. We believe that all of these are examples of Empire, which is what Jesus came to dismantle. We remember that throughout the Bible, God chose marginalized people to move through the world. God chose women (like Anna), and outsiders (like Ruth), and sex workers (like Rahab) to show the world that we must center marginalized voices if we are to love God--and indeed, if we are to survive at all. And so, we are committed to ongoing and prayerful work to dismantle these logics of harm in our systems, our church, and ourselves. With God's help, we will continue to practice collective liberation on earth as it is in heaven.

Anand Balar tells us wtf is on his state-of-the-art political radar and gives us a big choice. BalarStar is a segment hosted by Anand Balar to discuss the political goings on of the day. The first rendition of this segment features some coverage of the Biden Administration's first days from foreign policy to domestic policy. Specifically, we'll dive into how the Biden Administration moved Heaven and Earth to bomb Syria before even fighting for a $15 minimum wage or stimulus checks that would go to more Americans for a higher amount than $1400. Here are some guiding documents to help you along the way: Further Means Testing of the Stimulus Will Be Disastrous for Suffering Americans, by Andrew Perez and Walter Bergman On the Minimum Wage, Joe Biden Chose Failure, by Branko Marcetic U.S. Airstrikes in Syria Target Iran-Backed Militias That Rocketed American Troops in Iraq Recorded March 7th.
