\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Please join us at Asian\/Asian American Research Institute (AAARI) for a two-part commemoration of the 30th anniversary of Vincent Chin\u2019s murder, a foundational moment in Asian American\/Pacific Islander history that remains relevant today.<\/p>\n

During the first hour (2-3pm), we will join 30+ cities in viewing (via Google Hangout) a nationwide panel on hate crimes and bullying, organized by APA for Progress. Panel will feature civil rights leaders from around the country, including: Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-32), CAIR-SF Executive Director Zahra Billoo, OCA Executive Director Tom Hayashi, Asian American Justice Center Executive Director Mee Moua, and live from our very own location, The Sikh Coalition\u2019s National Director of Programs, Amardeep Singh. Guest-moderated by Phil Yu of Angry Asian Man.<\/p>\n

Following the panel, we will continue with our local event (3-4pm) by engaging in discussion and interactive art-making to document the lasting impact of Vincent Chin\u2019s case on the AAPI community. With the help of talented AAPI artists, we will use various artistic media\u2014painting, writing, and film\u2014to create our own unique response to this day and produce lasting cultural artifacts that will continue to breathe life into our activism, bring us together, and move us forward. You do NOT need any artistic experience to participate!<\/p>\n

Featuring:
