Can we transform our society through unruly resistance, defiant love, and radical care? Two highly respected and widely-published scholars, Diane C. Fujino and Robyn Magalit Rodriguez, think it's possible. In their new book, Contemporary Asian American Activism: Building Movements for Liberation, they brought together stories of lived experiences, lessons, and triumphs from grassroots Asian American organizers and scholar-activists fighting for transformative justice. In the struggles for prison abolition, global anti-imperialism, immigrant rights, affordable housing, environmental justice, fair labor, and more, twenty-first-century Asian American activists are speaking out and standing up to systems of oppression. Fujino and Rodriguez came together to celebrate victories, assess failures, reflect on the trials of activist life, examine movement-building in the long term, and inspire continued mobilization for the years to come. Collectively, the stories shape a vision of a more just future that's forged when many different races — and multiple generations — come together in solidarity. Diane C. Fujino is professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Her research examines Japanese and Asian American activist history within an Asian American Radical Tradition and shaped by Black Power and Third World decolonization. Fujino is co-Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Asian American Studies, and sits on the editorial boards of Kalfou: A Journal of Comparative and Relational Ethnic Studies and the Journal of Civil and Human Rights. She serves as Faculty Equity Advisory and Associate Dean in the Division of Social Sciences. She is featured in AOKI: A Documentary Film and has spoken on the history of Asian American, Afro-Asian, and Third World liberation struggles on NPR, Democracy Now!, CBSN, NBC Asian America, and many other networks. She is the author of multiple books, and her writing has been published in the Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and on Al Jazeera Plus, Discover Nikkei, and many more. Robyn Magalit Rodriguez is professor of Asian American Studies at the University of California, Davis. She was the first Pinay (Filipina born in the United States) to serve as chair in the Asian American Studies department's 50-year history. She is also the founding director of the Bulosan Center for Filipino Studies and is a widely published and award-winning scholar. She has written on global migration with a particular focus on Overseas Filipino Workers.

Kimmy Yam from NBC Asian America published an interesting article this morning. She made the assertion that Major League Baseball has a clear bias against Asian players...because there isn't one Asian player in the baseball Hall-of-Fame. She makes the case for Hideo Nomo...players like Ichiro Suzuki...and claims Major League Baseball past history is the reason Asians are excluded. We bust through this myth...and provide the REAL reason there isn't an Asian player in the Major League Baseball Hall-of-Fame. We also explain that Kimmy Yam either wrote this article for attention...or didn't do her research.

NBC's Kimmy Yam and WTOP's Albert Shimabukuro tell heart breaking stories, but also leave us with a path forward out of the cycle of hate gripping the nation.

The fear among Asian-Americans is real. We have been seeing an uptick in Anti-Asian racist incidents and according to one report, there were 3,800 incidents this past year during the pandemic, mostly against women. These can include everything from shunning people, using slurs, or even physical attacks. Experts see two trends emerging, one is incidents of racism related to the pandemic, and the second is violence against elderly Asians. Kimmy Yam, reporter at NBC News and writer for NBC Asian America, joins us for more. Next, the fight for his political life has officially begun for California Gov. Gavin Newsom. On Wednesday, proponents of a recall effort submitted over 2 million signatures to be verified, only 1.5 million signatures are needed. Newsom has already begun a press tour to defend his handling of the state's pandemic response, and get ready for more ads flooding the state. Newsom is pinning the recall effort on Trump supporters and opportunists, while the other side wants to keep it all about Newsom's closures of businesses. David Siders, national political correspondent at Politico, joins us for what to expect next in this recall.

Claire Wang is a freelance journalist and writer.  Her recent article for NBC Asian America unpacks how anti-Asian sentiment in the early 80's, led to the murder of Vincent Chin.  Now in 2020, the familiar story of political scapegoating plays out, with terms like "Kung Flu" fanning the flames of racist attacks. But there may be hope on the horizon with some Asian activists pushing for stricter prosecution of hate crimes.  Link to her full article here.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/anniversary-vincent-chin-death-relevant-era-kung-flu-covid-10-n1231888 Follow @unwashedcomedy and @epopski on IG!

Our guest today is Traci Lee. Where do I start when I introduce Traci? She is an award-winning producer, a journalist, and previously oversaw NBC Asian America at NBC News. She helped launch MSNBC.com's first website, I'm going to stop here because you'll learn so much more about her as you listen. I met Traci last year, and I was super impressed not only by our casual conversation about alopecia, but the investment she has put into sharing Asian-American history is something that drew me in even more. So today, you get a fantastic history lesson, talk about alopecia, a peek into what it's like to interview Matt Damon, and insight into a little-known podcast that grew exponentially by unforeseen circumstance. https://traciglee.com/ https://www.instagram.com/traciglee/ https://twitter.com/traciglee https://twitter.com/dawsonsspeakpod https://www.facebook.com/tracigarlinglee

Sharon Wong is a San Francisco native and lives in the Bay Area with her husband and two teenaged sons. She's graduated from UC Berkeley (and an alumni parent, Go Bears!) and UCLA, worked as a teacher for many years before becoming a stay at home mom. She's currently an educator, advocate, and blogger at Nut Free Wok where she shares her nut-free Asian recipes and food allergy mom stories and experiences to help other families. Sharon and her advocacy have been featured on NBC Asian America, Healthline, PBS, various food allergy and asthma organizations, and local and national media. Over 15 million people living in the United States are affected by food allergies and anaphylaxis and every 3 minutes a life-threatening allergic reaction sends people to the hospital. Both of her sons have food allergies, her younger son's nut allergies are so severe that just being near nuts have caused allergic reactions without even eating them. Sharon became very fired up about sharing food allergy awareness when one of her sons experienced food allergy discrimination and bullying at school. People with food allergies are often told by medical experts to avoid certain foods, including Asian food. What does one do if one is Asian or loves Asian food? She started her blog Nut Free Wok: Allergy Aware Asian Fare (www.nutfreewok.com) to share her nut-free Asian recipes and allergy mom experiences. She is proud to be a mission ambassador for End Allergies Together, a national non-profit that funds food allergy research. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/freeman-means-business/support

Jeff and Phil welcome Traci Lee of NBC Asian America to discuss the "13 moments in Asian America that moved us in 2018" and take one last look back at The Good, The Bad and The WTF of the year that was.

  Sahra V. Nguyen: Public Policy as a Creative Spark (Ep. 163) Sahra Nguyen joined Joe Miller to chat about her new Brooklyn-based coffee venture—Nguyen Coffee Supply. Bi0 Sahra Nguyen is an award-winning filmmaker, entrepreneur, and founder/CEO of Nguyen Coffee Supply. Currently based in Brooklyn, NY, Nguyen is also the co-founder of podcast agency Listening Party and a member of the 2018 Google Next Gen Tech Policy Leaders. In 2018, Nguyen launched Nguyen Coffee Supply—the first-ever Vietnamese-American owned importer, supplier, and roaster of green coffee beans from Vietnam—as a way to showcase the diversity of single-origin arabica and robusta. She works directly with a fourth-generation Vietnamese coffee farmer from Da Lat in the Central Highlands, whose beans are certified clean and organic in Vietnam. As the daughter of Vietnamese refugees in Boston, MA, the company’s name is a nod to Nguyen’s Vietnamese heritage. Nguyen graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) with a double major in Asian American Studies and World Arts & Cultures, served as the Director of the Writing Success Program at UCLA, and published an e-book of poetry exploring themes of identity, race in America, and the Vietnamese-American experience. Building on her love of storytelling, in 2015 Nguyen started her own production company, One Ounce Gold. Her first self-produced documentary web series, “Maker's Lane," evolved into a brand new series for NBC News entitled "Self-Starters,” a show about Asian American entrepreneurs around the country. Helping launch the video channel for NBC Asian America, "Self-Starters" was nominated for the EPPY Awards and LA Press Club Awards. In mid-2016, Nguyen sold her second documentary series to NBC News, "Deported," which follows the grassroots fight to end deportation of Cambodian-Americans from the U.S. to Cambodia. "Deported" was nominated alongside CNN's Lisa Ling's "This is Life" and won the 2018 NAMIC Vision Award for Best Digital Media, Long Form. With a passion to constantly take on new challenges, Nguyen, along with three friends (all under the age of 30), opened up their first storefront business Lucy's Vietnamese Kitchen, in Bushwick, NY, in March of 2015. Within the first 9 months, Lucy's Vietnamese Kitchen won "Best Vietnamese Restaurant" by popular vote and has been featured in The New York Times, Time Out New York, Zagat, VICE, and more. Follow Sahra Nguyen on Facebook, Instagram, and Linkedin. Resources Sahra V. Nguyen Nguyen Coffee Supply ‘Deported’ on NBC News Roundup Bombshell New York Times report reveals Facebook’s political machinations A bombshell New York Times report last week cast new light on the extent to which Facebook sought to contain accusations that it was enabling Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Apparently, the company sought to promote the image that the company knew nothing about Russia’s interference while, at the same time, Mark Zuckerberg was kept in the dark. But internally, while Joel Kaplan and Cheryl Sandberg were doing their magic on the Hill working their Harvard connections, Facebook kept uncovering new evidence that Russians continued to use the platform to protect president Trump and spread propaganda in advance of the election and beyond. The New York Times also reports that the company apparently also hired lobbyists, such as Definers Public Affairs, to help the company oppose its critics. In a video-conferenced all-hands meeting on Friday, Zuckerberg defended the company saying the New York Times report was unfair and untrue, even as Cheryl Sandberg accepted responsibility for hiring Definers Public Affairs. And another report by the Wall Street Journal found that Zuckerberg himself pointed fingers at Sandberg, blaming her for the Cambridge Analytica fallout. Reuters: Russians impersonating State Department officials Reuters reports that Russian hackers have been impersonating at least one State Department official, Heather Nauert, over email trying to get other officials to download malicious code. Security firms CrowdStrike and FireEye uncovered the effort. But Russia denies involvement. Julian Assange back in spotlight Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who played a key role releasing hacked emails during the 2016 presidential election, is back in the spotlight. George Washington University Program on Extremism researcher Seamus Hughes uncovered a court filing which found that the Department of Justice appears to be pressing sealed charges against Assange. The Hill also reports that Ecuadorian officials have grown weary of granting Assange asylum at their embassy in London since 2012. If they evict Assange, Assange could be extradited back to the U.S. The American Civil Liberties Union opposes prosecuting Assange, claiming that doing so would be a First Amendment violation. Nation’s only African American network chief to step down ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey, who is African American, is stepping down from the company as Disney seeks to restructure the company in advance of closing on its acquisition of 21st Century Fox’s entertainment assets next year. Dungey is the only African American network head in the country, and she’s been with the company for 14 years. She’s been responsible for launching ‘Scandal’, “black-ish” and the “The Good Doctor”. But ABC has seen overall ratings decline 10%, with an 18% decline among adults 18-49 according to The Wall Street Journal. JD.com’s chief shifting focus China-based ecommerce giant JD.com’s chief has announced that he will delegate more responsibilities. It’s seen as a long-term move to groom his replacement. Richard Liu was arrested in Minnesota in September for alleged “criminal sexual misconduct” with a Chinese student at the University of Minnesota. The company’s share price has also dropped 55% since January amidst the U.S.-China trade war. Snap subpoenaed on IPO disclosures Reuters reports that the Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission have subpoenaed Snap to uncover whether the company downplayed competition from Instagram during its initial public offering (IPO) in March of 2017. Snap’s share price has tumbled down to $6.71 per share from its offering price of $17 per share. TV station groups settle with DOJ over ad sales collusion allegations Six tv station groups the Department of Justice alleges colluded to fix ad sales prices have settled. Sinclair, Raycom, Tribune, Meredith, Griffin, and Dreamcatcher all settled. The settlement simply requires the station groups not to share nonpublic pricing data with each other for 7 years. There are no penalties, according to Meredith. A private class action by advertisers against the station groups is still in progress.
