Fighting mis/disinformation, encouraging intergenerational dialogue, & politicizing the Chinese diaspora on WeChat & beyond. Join us!

[Stop AAPI Hate @StopAAPIHate]

Breaking: After mounting pressure from Asian Americans — including community organizations, elected officials, and thousands of everyday advocates — the @NYPost has published an official retraction notice and apology for misreporting that Trump’s shooter was a Chinese man.

[MediaJustice @mediajustice]

Alongside our Network Member @18millionrising as well as The Asian American Disinfo Table at the DDL and @xinshengproject we co-created an extension of Copaganda Clapback work for Asian Americans! You can view it here: https://t.co/iRbEVz2U5i

[Arthur Kaufman @arthur_kaufman_]

There were attempts to help educate their respective communities. @newbloommag held film screenings about Gaza. @XinShengProject shared examples of how to have conversations with Chinese family members about the occupation in Palestine.

Great initiative by @XinShengProject translating a convo between @celinecelines and @theslowfactory into Chinese for a model on how to address pro-Israel talking points from Sinophone community members—check out the whole thing on Xinsheng’s IG!

[The Center for Cultural Power @CultureStrike]

As Asian Americans, we want to honor the sacrifice of our parents and grandparents, many of whom left home to create a better life for us here in the U.S. But, what was their sacrifice really for? We all deserve the freedom to be who we want to be, and to be seen for all we are, whether we’re applying for school, following our passions, or going for a promotion. #FreedomToBeMe #RepresentationMatters

This #pride, let's radically reimagine our identities beyond the #genderbinary, a Western concept rooted in #WhiteSupremacy & #Imperialism.

Many claim being #queer or #LGBTQ is a white idea, but gender & sexual fluidity have existed in Asia long before colonization. 1/6

[Xīn Shēng | 心声 Project @XinShengProject]

“We feel before we find the words to describe our feelings; no words can fully portray how we feel. The #genderbinary offers too simple of an explanation for a complex feeling while simultaneously asking us to restrict ourselves within the box.”

- Mavis Tang | 5/6

[Asian American Futures @AAFutures]

The #AANHPI umbrella isn't a monolith! Data disaggregation was one of many concepts we tested to move audiences in favor of #affirmativeaction.

Join @CAAsanfrancisco, @XinShengProject and AAF at our briefing next week! https://t.co/k0KGWj5bPj

[Xīn Shēng | 心声 Project @XinShengProject]
