- Have conversations.<\/strong>\u00a0We are collecting stories<\/a> of Asian Americans having the difficult conversations needed to take the message of #BlackLivesMatter deeper into our communities. Talk to your parents. Talk to your cousins. Talk to your co-workers. If you\u2019re having conversations in your community, here are some questions<\/a> to dig into. If you\u2019re taking the message to your families, we suggest you start more simply. Ask them about their ideas about Black people, where they came from, and what they think about what\u2019s happening now. Share your thoughts and feelings. Share facts. Start to push them. And please share your stories here<\/a>.<\/li>\n
- Join a local organizing group.\u00a0<\/strong>This is long-term work. Model Minority Mutiny depends on the strength of the organizing happening in our communities. Get involved in institutions in your area that are fighting police brutality, gentrification, and militarism. If you don\u2019t have an Asian American racial justice organizing group locally, then start conversations with people you know. Show up to protests on campuses and in the streets. Here\u00a0is a partial list of Asian American grassroots organizing groups committed to racial justice.\u00a0Chinese Progressive Association<\/a>\u00a0 Seeding Change<\/a> \u00a0CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Desis Rising Up and Moving!<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Providence Youth Students Movement<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Freedom Inc.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a01Love Movement<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0VAYLA<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Khmer Girls in Action<\/a><\/li>\n
- Show off your Model Minority Mutiny!<\/strong>\u00a0ChangeLab has created t-shirts <\/a>to show loud and clear that we stand on the insurgent line of the color line. We stand for freedom. 100% of proceeds over the next month will go toward bail funds to support those putting their lives on the line in protest for Black lives. Wear it proudly, and gift them to your friends for the holidays! There is no better message for the New Year than the message of hope and possibility that #BlackLivesMatter has created.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
