The Asian American community, like many immigrant communities, is faced with an uncertain and potentially threatened future under the Trump administration, which has pledged to repeal the Affordable Care Act, deport undocumented immigrants, and create a Muslim registry, to name a few.
In this panel discussion, Asian American leaders will talk about how the Trump administration will impact social services in the Asian community and discuss ways in which social work students, activists, and community members can protect the needs of the most vulnerable members of our community.
Panelists:
Jo-Ann Yoo, Executive Director, Asian American Federation
Noilyn Abesamis-Mendoza, Director of Policy, Coalition for Asian American Children & Families
Murad Awawdeh, Director of Political Engagement, New York Immigration Coalition
