ALT BROKE OR WOKE: AAC's 2nd Social. 6:30pm, 12 Nov 2018 in Asian Cultural Engagement Center (Squires 140). We intend to create a safe space that is cool + casual but also critical + constructive- if you've always wanted to learn/get more perspectives on any Asian American or just general social justice topic, don't be shy to come and ask! Anyone and any topic are welcome- if you're down for the movement, you're invited.

Now imagine how many billions aren't being paid as reparations for the agent orange/blue and napalm attacks on Korea, Vietnam, Lao, and Cambodia and the lasting damage upon our people. But also know that reparations aren't enough, we need to smash it all.

They hid that Sandra Bland video for four years. Think of how many more are being hidden. And how many have been destroyed.

The 2020 US national defense budget is $718 billion, Amazon paid $0 in taxes this year, and wages have been stagnant for decades, but the real problem is the ~$100 you dropped on privatized, contract labor operated transportation that you only need coz there’s no public transit
The average adult in the USA spends $1,497 a month on nonessential items. All told, that's roughly $18,000 a year on things we can all do without. bit.ly/2vIbNZZ

A1. Our favorite part of APAHM is uplifting the fact that Asian American is a political term used to build power in our communities and was created to combat U.S. militarism in SE Asia. Every year we strive to continue this legacy!

Unless the racism is addressed and eradicated in the places you are looking to make ‘diverse’ you are simply bringing people of color into violent and unsafe spaces.

Today, the Yale administration conceded. The thirteen faculty members are returning to a program that has the institutional status and permanence that they deserve. ER&M now has the power to make solo hires, and professors no longer have to perform double-duty. #YaleERM

It’s API Heritage Month(tm) and I wanted to let ya know that the US still has military bases occupying The Philippines, Korea, Hawaii, Guam & Micronesia, Polynesia, Japan & Okinawa, and along with Occupied Australia, and still interferes in their domestic politics to this day.
