Curtis Chin, producer of “Who Killed Vincent Chin,” sent me the following. I think it’s an awesome opportunity for:
1. Community with your friends and colleagues
2. Learning about what President Obama is doing for Asian Americans
3. Making our collective voices heard at the national level
If anyone wants to do this, let me know, or you can D.I.Y over here!
On May 31st, Asian Pacific Americans for Progress (apaforprogress.org) is hosting a nation-wide conference call with Konrad Ng, the Chinese American brother-in-law of President Obama. It will be a great chance to hear from someone so close to the President and to learn how the President might approach our community.
It would be great to have a party (or two) in Oregon. Basically, it can just be a dozen friends or so, gathering for a potluck and then calling in and listening to Konrad. We’ll also have another guest or two. After the call, we want the parties to all talk about the issues they think matter, not just on a national level, but also locally. We’ll then record all these thoughts and share them with the Obama administration. It will be a chance to have our collective voice heard.
