Let’s Talk Webinar – Asian Gold Ribbon

May 20, 2021 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Lets Talk E-Poster

 

In response to the alarming rise in anti-Asian racism, the Act2EndRacism Network has produced five short videos, seeking to counter disinformation and misinformation that has fueled anti-Asian sentiment. Join us for a panel discussion with a special focus on two of our Let’s Talk videos “Yellow Peril” and “Model Minority”.

Moderated by Teresa Woo-Paw, the founder of Action, Chinese Canadians Together (ACCT), let’s have a conversation about how anti-Asian racism has manifested in our systems, how resilient the Asian community has been and how we can find ways to resolve anti-Asian sentiments.

This event will also be held in conjunction with the launch of the inaugural Asian Gold Ribbon day, an initiative by Dr. Gina Wong and Sheila Wong. The Asian Gold Ribbon 2021 Campaign urges individuals, organizations, and communities to demonstrate solidarity against Asian racism and to recognize its profound psychological impact. Asian and non-Asian persons will adorn face masks with the gold ribbon emblem and gold ribbon pins throughout the month of May to signify hope, unity, and solidarity for a better tomorrow.
