Increased efforts by the U.S. government to racially target and profile Asian Americans and Asian immigrants have incited fear among the Asian American and immigrant community across the country. Mass surveillance and unjust investigations and prosecutions of scientists, researchers, and scholars of Asian and Chinese descent have increased at an alarming rate.

This webinar with OCA-Asian Pacific Americans consists of a two-part panel with the first section providing a comprehensive overview of the anti-racial profiling movement and the current state of play, including the end of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s security unit Investigations and Threat Management Service (ITMS) and the upcoming trial of Dr. Feng ‘Franklin’ Tao, the most recent case under the “China Initiative“. The latter half of the panel looks into ways you can be involved with Advancing Justice | AAJC’s and OCA’s week of action.

Speakers highlight important policy and advocacy priorities, community-led grassroots organizing efforts, and outline how to build narratives with the media to lift up the voices of impacted people and increase public awareness
