Join this virtual town hall with Stop AAPI Hate and other movement leaders to learn more about the dangers our communities face under the next administration and how we can mobilize in opposition to Trumpism — far-right extremism, authoritarianism, xenophobia — and in support of a fairer, more equitable vision of America.

Event Highlights: Fireside Chat: Hear from Judy and Dennis Shepard and Louvon Byrd Harris, family members of Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr., in a conversation hosted by Kristen Clarke, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.

Family & Advocacy Voices: Gain insights from Dawn and Rick Collins and Taylor Dumpson-Lippincott, who will share their perspectives as family members and advocates. This event offers an opportunity to honor the progress achieved, recognize the lives impacted by hate crimes, and reflect on the ongoing work to address hate and bias in our society. Please feel free to share this invitation with colleagues, friends, or others who may find this topic meaningful. Register here to receive the livestream link and join us for this important commemoration. We look forward to having you with us.
