UPCOMING EVENT
From Hate to Hope: South Asian Resilience, Resistance, and Thriving Through History
Thursday, May 8th at 5 PM CST
In recognition of Asian Pacific Heritage Month, join SAAPRI and SAAJCO as we explore the history of hate and discrimination faced by South Asians in the United States, highlighting the resilience and resistance that have defined our communities. Our speakers will examine the roots and evolution of anti-South Asian sentiment, uncovering how these historical narratives continue to influence present-day experiences and inspire collective thriving. This is the third session in our Engaged Communities Series, a year-long initiative focused on empowering our communities with knowledge and tools to advocate for their rights.
