In response to the rise in hate against Asian Americans, 88rising is gathering our most active and outspoken community members who lead the movement in anti-racism. Introducing a Speaker Series that helps educate all of us, from 88rising employees, fans, and our allies on how to engage, discuss, and actively work on dismantling systemic racism.

First in our series, we speak with John C. Yang, president and executive director of Asian American Advancing Justice – AAJC, an organization whose mission is to advance the civil and human rights of Asian Americans and build and promote a fair and equitable society for all. As an organization fighting for civil rights through education, litigation, and public policy advocacy, they continue to work to raise awareness about increased racism and discrimination against Asian Americans.
