We will explore questions around the importance of creating a pipeline of Asian American leaders and building platforms for visibility and connection. We will ask about the impact of getting involved in the political process, coalescing resources (money and constituents) to move the needle forward, as well as the intersection of politics and community investment, intergenerationally.

About Quiet Before: Unearthing Anti-Asian Violence
Womankind, The 1882 Foundation, Eaton Workshop, Honolulu Theatre for Youth and Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center are proud to announce Quiet Before: Unearthing Anti-Asian Violence, a six-part series dedicated to examining anti-Asian violence from its many complex perspectives.
This coalition-based effort seeks to share the nuanced story of Asian Pacific Islanders in America and how to chart new paths by giving voice to our elders, creating awareness for broader audiences, reaffirming solidarity with our allies and determining new actions inspired by youth.
