Preaching for Ash Wednesday, Clarissa V. Aljentera invites us to discern a Lenten journey that incorporates the universal elements of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, but is uniquely ours to walk: "How do you believe God is inviting you into a Lenten journey that is uniquely beautiful and uniquely yours? What is God calling you back to? How will your heart make its way home?" Clarissa V. Aljentera (she/her) is a second-generation Filipina American born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. She is currently the Director of Education for Justice with the Ignatian Solidarity Network. She is passionate about engaging Catholic Social Teaching in various aspects of her life. She is interested in the intersections of Anti-Asian Hate alongside systemic racism and, in particular, the role that solidarity plays among Black and Asian communities.

When anti-Asian hate crimes spiked in 2020, history teacher Jeff Kim wanted to respond "with love and wisdom." His answer: a Korean-American studies class.

As some of you may know, I was attacked by a White man walking in the park around 9:45 am. This is a park where they hold summer camps and many kids were around. I bring my kids here on the weekends and celebrated one of their birthdays there just this past May. The latest crime data shows that 11% of assault victims citywide in San Francisco are Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. 25% of the elder abuse victims are AAPI, the highest among all the racial groups. As a victim, you keep replaying in your mind what you could have done differently. And what can you do now to protect yourself and your communities. So I am reposting this episode with Lisa Mak, where we discuss: - Why there is a rise in anti-Asian hate. - How discrimination can cause you to lose your sense of self. - What you can do to fight anti-Asian hate. - How choosing to speak up can help our communities. - Why you should light a candle instead of cursing the darkness. - How we still have the ability to choose joy even during these difficult times.

What Should Short Guys Do? Welcome to Asian Hate Mail, the only podcast that brings up issues with the AAPI community. The podcast is not only about Anti-Asian Hate but includes history, personal development, and encouragement for those who feel affected by being born in the skin they are in. In this episode, I speak on a post I found on the subreddit r/AsianMasculinity. A subreddit that banned me for my beliefs that not every Asian person has trouble finding love or getting laid. They've all given up and lost all hope. I do hope this encourages you and anyone who believes that they're at a disadvantage because of the genes they inherited. Personally, I'm short and I'm Asian. But I never hated myself for it. I just accepted it and played to my strengths. I think a lot more men should do this rather than focus on the uncontrollable. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/asianhatemail/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/asianhatemail/support
Anti-Asian hate spiked 145 percent in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. At the same time, nearly one-third of the COVID deaths among nurses were Filipina nurses. As we look back at the first three years of the COVID-19 pandemic, increasingly complex stories continue to emerge. How can religious literacy and a lens of racial justice inform the stories that we and our students hear, tell, and seek out? The Religion and Public Life program at Harvard Divinity School hosted a conversation with Professor Aprilfaye Manalang of Norfolk State University to learn about her ongoing research on religious identity, grief, and COVID with Filipina-American nurses, as well as Jeanne Shin-Cooper of Buffalo Grove High School in Illinois whose students are taking part in this critical interview project. Prof. Manalang discussed her pedagogical practice of promoting Asian-American understanding at a Historically Black University, and the process of communicating this research to a public audience via podcast. This event took place May 8, 2023. A full transcript is forthcoming. Learn more: https://rpl.hds.harvard.edu/

There are many versions of our American story. For some it is a gateway to freedom and opportunity, for others it is where only some can thrive, often at the expense of less valued communities. As always, the truth is complex and nuanced and data, when our public leaders choose to collect it, tells the true story. A global pandemic exposed and deepened America's fault lines, revealing how historical policy making decisions steeped in racism and anti-immigrant bias created strikingly disparate outcomes to the crisis. The truths are profound and unimpeachable, shocking but not truly surprising. In this episode of Power Station, Alvina Yeh, executive director of Asian Pacific Islander American Labor Alliance, explains that xenophobia and inequitable healthcare, education and workforce systems were realities well before the pandemic struck. But the story is now elevated, and it is time for new voices to inform policy makers, employers, and the labor sector about their lived experiences and how to craft policy solutions to protect and expand the rights of AAPIs, our fastest growing working population. APALA is where dynamic AAPI leaders make change and equity possible. These are stories that we all need to hear.

Jennifer Wu is a partner at a law firm by day with an active pro bono practice representing victims of anti-Asian hate by night. Growing up, she realized that her parents did not want to be perceived as Asian. It was the 80s and the height of anti-Japanese sentiment as the Detroit auto industry blamed Japanese automakers for taking away their jobs. And much like today, anti-Asian hate crimes were on the rise. As she pursued a career in law, Wu always gravitated toward representing people who she thought were underrepresented. Now, she feels it's more important than ever to support her community.

An Asian American student was stabbed multiple times in the head while waiting to get off a bus at Indiana University. The attack has yet to be called a hate crime, though the attacker reportedly targeted the victim because she was “Chinese.” It's clear that anti-Asian violence continues even past the surge the U.S. saw in 2020. But what more needs to be done? Reset discusses with a panel of Asian American activists and community members.

GUEST Masaru Tanabe is a 34 year old disabled trans non-binary Japanese American fiber artist. Contracting the H1N1 (Swine flu) virus in 2009 left them with ME/CFS, a post-viral syndrome which, combined with their genetic disability of Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, has left them so disabled that they are now unable to work. They now spend their time making and selling fiber art online, and bringing awareness about Disability issues, anti-Asian Hate crimes, and Trans Rights issues. Instagram | TikTok | Ko-fi shop DEFINITIONS Pansexual - someone who is attracted – either emotionally, physically or both – to all genders. This includes cisgender, transgender, agender and gender nonconforming individuals. Ableism - discrimination against disabled people, in favor of able-bodied people. TAKEAWAYS 1. If you are a victim of discrimination, you do not owe closure to your oppressor. You do not have to suppress your own feelings in order to make them feel better about what they did. 2. Disabled is not a dirty word. It's just a fact. Talking about disability should not be a taboo. Not talking about disability keeps the disabled community invisible, and makes it harder for them to access the support they deserve. 3. The way we view disability in the west is only one of many possible ways to do so, and a better system is possible for all the stakeholders. In Japan, instead of viewing disabled people as a liability, they use technology to empower disabled people to work and to continue to be an integral part of their community. 4. Despite the Americans with Disabilities Act, the accessibility standards are not comprehensive enough to ensure access. Builders will often meet the minimum ADA requirements and neglect to add essential features such as curb cuts if they are not required to do so. 5. Anti-Asian hate crime has been on the rise since the pandemic, and many of us, myself included, do not feel safe in spaces where we are the only Asian or person of color. 6. Even if you live in a community that is deemed liberal or progressive, you cannot assume that there isn't racism. Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles are not immune to racism. If you want to be true allies, ask your friends about their experiences, and ask them how you can be of help. Most of us will not tell you unless you ask, because we don't always know how you'll react. 7. Being an ally is a title that you earn through action, not by association.

Hate crimes against the Asian American Pacific Islander community have been on the rise since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Reset talks with Seong-Ah Cho, director of organizing for Asian Americans Advancing Justice Chicago and Natasha Chan, board member for Asians are Strong, about the steps they and their organizations are taking to combat that hate.
In March 2021, a 21-year-old man murdered eight people, including six women of Asian descent, at three spas in Atlanta, Georgia. The act of violence was one of the most dramatic assaults in a wave of anti-Asian hate that surged during COVID. For many, the tragic events became a galvanizing moment, reigniting a sense of collective identity and political engagement within Asian American and Pacific Island (AAPI) communities. A new documentary on PBS, Rising Against Asian Hate: One Day in March, spotlights the movement to turn grief into action and address the challenges that exist when it comes to prosecuting anti-Asian hate crimes. Executive producer Gina Kim is an Emmy-nominated producer, and the film features narration from actress Sandra Oh, original music by Jon Batiste and is directed by Titi Yu. Join Laura and Gina for this impactful conversation on combating anti-Asian hate.“Out of the hate crimes that were being prosecuted against Asian Americans, only 3% ended in a conviction, which is incredibly low.” - Gina Kim". . . People aren't just lying down and saying, ‘This is what it is.' They're fighting back and protecting their communities.” - Gina KimGuest: Gina Kim, Emmy-nominated Producer & Executive Producer, Rising Against Asian Hate: One Day in March Celebrate changemakers with us in beautiful Callicoon, NY!

Her team is reviewing past cases to see if hate crime labels can be applied to them retroactively. Will this actually do anything to solve the root issues leading to crime in SF? - Two noncontroversial Anti-Asian Hate bills pass in CA, just not the ones actually actively harming Asian peoples' lives (see ICE deportation issue above) - Kathy Hochul makes masks optional on all public transit in NYC.

“Because there were so few people who looked like me in my business throughout my career, I've been so cautious about drawing attention to my ethnicity, to my gender. To bring these issues to the fore has been very uncomfortable, but necessary. I hope that I've inspired people in my own community to no longer be content to sit on the sidelines. It's been an incredible experience to see this community come together.” Lisa Ling is a beloved and gifted journalist and TV star. Since the age of 18, she has traveled the world as a reporter. Lisa's reporting always gets to the human heart of the stories she uncovers. She is a bright star within the Asian American community. But in the wake of COVID-19 – as violent attacks and other racist activity against Asian-Americans skyrocketed – she stepped up into an even more powerful and visible role. This week, Van and Lisa talk about the impact of anti-Asian racism and how the Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) community has come together. They bond over the often overlooked but rich history of solidarity between Asian and African Americans in the United States.

This is the story of a girl and her car. That girl is me, May, and the car is Bonnie Blue 2.0. Believe it or not, this story is related to Anti-Asian Hate and how the anxiety of this ongoing crisis has made me and others think twice about what we wear, drive, live and socialize. I'm sharing this story because it could have ended with total defeat and heartbreak, but because of the power of storytelling and connecting with others, this has a happy and inspiring ending. Bonnie Blue 2.0 served as so much more than just a pretty car. She played a role in fighting Asian Hate.

Julio is joined by Jason Wu, public defender at the Legal Aid Society's Harlem Community Law Office, and Tiffany Diane Tso, freelance writer, editor, and co-founder of the Asian American Feminist Collective. They reflect on the rise in hate crimes targeting different Asian American communities, and how to build community safety beyond policing. They also get into the opportunity for multiracial solidarity in light of the increasing white supremacist violence in this country. ITT Staff Picks: “A year after the shootings, many additional attacks on Asian Americans have continued across the country, something activists view as part of the long tradition of violence and discrimination against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders woven through the nation's history,” by Frances Kai-Hwa Wang for PBS Newshour in April 2022. In this analysis of data from AAPI Data and Momentive, professors Janelle Wong and Sara Sadhwani found that “all racial groups experienced a hate crime over the first months of 2022 at very similar rates to one another.” “In interviews with more than a dozen community members — from shopkeepers to long term residents and elected officials — one particular sentiment coursed through the interviews: The systems that were supposed to protect people — from homeless people to the elderly and women — have failed Chinatown,” writes Lam Thuy Vo in this piece for Documented.

Last year, President Biden signed the anti-Asian hate crimes bill into law. Jonathan Freedland speaks to Prof Claire Kim of UCI about what's behind the recent rise in anti-Asian hate in America, why this is an issue both sides of Congress can actually agree on, and what influence Asian-American voters could have in the midterms and in 2024
It's been just over a year since six Asian women were among eight people shot and killed at Atlanta-area spas. Since those attacks, more acts of violence seemingly targeted at Asian-Americans have left the community on edge. In part one of a special two-part series, we examine how victims' families are coping and why advocates say it matters whether these acts are classified as hate crimes.

It's been 2 years since "The May Lee Show" launched as a scrappy, experimental vodcast that set out to elevate AAPI voices and issues. It's been a challenging two years...COVID-19, Anti-Asian Hate, social and political unrest. But something happened recently that made May stop and assess her purpose very deeply...the suicide of Cheslie Kryst, former Miss USA, attorney and correspondent for "Extra". In this episode, May, a 55-year-old Asian woman, explains why the suicide of a very successful 31-year-old black woman has shaken her deeply and is prompting her to take a breath and pause. It's honest, it's raw and it's exactly what she wants to say to whomever wants to listen.

They said it was a mental breakdown, a deranged homeless man, and not a racially motived hate crime. In this week's episode, I am reflecting on muliple anti-Asian attacks over the past year that have been overshadowed by investigations of the attacker's mental illness history. While no one will ever really know what happened, the immediate response to it illustrates a larger reality: when the offender is mentally ill, we as a society have an exceedingly difficult time ascribing political or racial motivations to their actions. I share how this furthers mental health stigma and doesn't acknoledge the very real reality of racism against Asians which has risen/been accepted over the past 2 years.Thank you for supporting the podcast!

There's something about baking that warms the heart. From the wonderful aroma of cookies in the oven to the fluffiness of a chiffon cake, baked goods are always a crowd pleaser. But let's be honest, when we think about baking, we often equate it to western flavors and styles. Brownies, cupcakes, croissants etc. It's not too often you hear bakers using pandan or miso or gochujang. Enter Kat Lieu, founder of Subtle Asian Baking, a community she created to celebrate baking with an Asian twist. After a fruitless search for one source that aggregated Asian baking recipes, Kat decided to start her own. So as the holiday season kicks off, May decided to speak with Kat about how it all began and how this community of bakers has helped empower the AAPI community and beyond and fight Anti-Asian Hate one cake at a time! And of course, Kat brings on some of her special baked goods on the show so get ready for some holiday treats!
