Asians for Palestine Power Hour

We’ll have 18MR’s Organizing Director Sharmin Hossain and Rising Majority’s National Director Loan Tran speak on what is at stake for our Asian American community. Folks will get the time to call and email their representatives along with our list of Asian representatives. ASL interpretation will be available, and we will update the registration link with other access support.

We demand better of our elected officials. We need our Asian American representatives to reflect the demands of our Asian American community and support CEASEFIRE NOW.

Our Palestinian comrades are counting on all of us to show up in mass solidarity.
