 WE RISE TOGETHER: Stopping Anti-Asian Hate

– A Special Virtual Town Hall –

WHAT: The rise in anti-Asian hate and violence is horrific and unacceptable. Each day another incident devastates America. President Biden issued a presidential memorandum in January condemning racism, xenophobia, and intolerance against the 21 million Asian American and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) in the United States. But the community needs action.

WHO: United in the same spirit and mission, leaders from ADL, Committee of 100, NAACP and the U.S. Senate will share concerns, experiences and how to move forward. How can we come together to create real change? Join the virtual town hall discussion.

  • Moderator: Juju Chang, Co-Anchor, ABC News Nightline
  • Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO and National Director, ADL
  • Ambassador Gary Locke, Chairman-Elect, Committee of 100
  • Derrick Johnson, President and CEO, NAACP
  • The Honorable Alex Padilla, United States Senator, California

 

WHEN: Tuesday, April 13 at 8:30pm Eastern
