ZoomCaucus Crossover Panel Discussion - AAPI + GBC
Nov. 15th - 21st 2021 the Global Asian American & Pacific Islander Caucus (AAPI) and the Global Black Caucus (GBC) are teaming up to take over each other's social media accounts to raise awareness of mutual issues.
First thing we want people to know is that solidarity is there. It's been there. We can trace the historical roots of Asian-Black solidarity back to 1955 with the Bandung Conference, where representatives of people from the Asian continent and folks on the African continent came together to talk about what decolonization was going to look like for both of us. Fast forward to things like the relationship between Thich Nhat Hanh and Dr. King, and then all the way to the fight against the Klan in New Orleans in the '80s with Vietnamese fishermen.
In the United States, issues of race can often be cast along the lines of Black and White — and, especially at a moment when the world is being forced to confront the ways systemic racism is built into the nation’s history, the reasons for that focus are clear.
The AAPI & GBC Caucuses are teaming up to dismantle mutual prejudices from within their own communities and are highlighting their common issues. By moving forward and securing Democratic wins during elections, our communities become stronger together.
During the Caucus Crossover Week, Nov. 15th - 21st 2021, both caucuses will be highlighting issues such as:
- Asian & African American Votes Matter
- Environmental Racism Climate Change
- Unconscious Bias
- Reparations
- Human Trafficking
- Immigration
- LGBTIQ+
We will finish with a Caucus Crossover Panel Discussion between AAPI & GBC Caucuses on Sunday, November 21st 11am CET on Zoom.
