This is a virtual event
In honor of AAPI History Month, we are hosting a roundtable discussion for AAPI military veterans, partners, and family members. Participants will connect, share their personal stories, and brainstorm collective action. The purpose of this event will be to dive into the intersections between two important social movements in the United States: highlighting voting and demilitarizing foreign and domestic policies. If you are a member of the AAPI veteran and military family community, we invite you to join us May 31st for this valuable roundtable.
Guest Speakers: Khiet Ho Jenkins & Raman Solanki
SFI has invited highly-informative guest speakers with expertise in AAPI history, story-telling, and movement-building. These presentations will no doubt inform and inspire!
Facilitated Discussion with Host: Venus Doan
Participants are invited to actively engage in conversation with each other about how our personal lived experiences can and should shape our community organizing toward a more peaceful and secure world.
Note: this is a closed door conversation. While we appreciate the support that allies can provide, we kindly ask that only members of the AAPI veteran and military family community sign up.
This roundtable is the second of a 4-part series, highlighting underrepresented voices within the military community.
