On Tuesday, March 24, 2020, CKA’s Executive Director Abraham Kim moderated a webinar conversation with three national Asian American civic leaders: Gregg Orton, National Director of the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA); Madalene Mielke, President & CEO of Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies (APAICS); and John Yang, President, and Executive Director, Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC. Listen as we discuss this disturbing trend against the Asian American community as fear, disruption, and uncertainty increase in the United States with the deepening of the public health crisis. Hear these leaders address critical questions: What is driving the rise in anti-Asian American sentiment? What can individuals/organizations do to address these troubling events? What is being done at a national level among AAPI communities to push against this tide?
