It was an honor to see this air at the #DNCConvention today. #BlackLivesMatter isn't just a moment, but a movement that we must carry on in our AAPI communities. This is the first of a series of videos in different Asian languages to help overcome linguistic barriers. #AllofUs

@LettersForBL is back because the conversations we started in 2016 need a new life. The #bangla #Bengali version that I worked on, with a ton of other people, online and I encourage you to use this resource to start a conversation with your families.

⭐️ED PICK: Breath- BLM Mix by J.Lang ccmixter.org/files/djlang59/…
Powerful downtempo track with a message. @JLang59's remix includes spoken word by @LettersForBL, @spinningmerkaba field recordings of Oxnard CA #BlackLivesMatter protest, & the verse putting all together by Mikey D.

I know some kids who might benefit from having @LettersForBL translated in Tibetan. Feel free to share and they can join our Slack if interested! 🙏🏼 xitter.cf/garychou/status/127073…
🧵Over the past week, I've been part of a ~400+ person effort to produce a 2020 update to @lettersforbl.
On Monday, we published the first round of 26 translations (really localizations + adaptations) of the letter, with even more to come later today:

God, there has to be justice for Breonna too. There has to be. She's ours too.

The 2016 letter was a GAMECHANGER for my family.
Please share the updated version with your community!
Many Asian communities in the U.S. have websites dedicated to local community news - like sfkorean.com, la.koreaportal.com etc. Post where it will reach folks!

Black Lives Matter を日本語でも学べる資料があればいいと思い翻訳に携わりました。この手紙は、各コミュニティーで内面化された白人至上主義について、正直に話し合いたいと望む何百人によって共同執筆・翻訳されました。黒人の人たちと連帯する必要性をお伝えできると幸いです。

The Hindi Translation will be out later this week - which was an introspective experience on it own. How do we say police brutality in hindi? Skin color? Racial injustice? We will share later this week. #lettersforbl #blacklivesmatter

This includes a Persian language letter for friends who want to talk about Black Lives Matter but don't know how to say words like "slave patrols" and "state violence"
