Over the past year, more than 3,800 anti-Asian racist incidents were reported to Stop AAPI Hate, representing only a fraction of the discrimination faced by Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. As we celebrate National AAPI Heritage Month this May, join Grace Farms Foundation and OCA Fairfield County for an interdisciplinary conversation about how we can all work to build awareness around anti-Asian discrimination, identify ways to make a difference, and come together as a community to create lasting social change. OCA, with 50 chapters around the country advocates for the AAPI community.

Our panel discussion, moderated by Michael Chen, General Partner and CEO at Chen & Associates and Vice Chairman of the Board at Grace Farms Foundation, will explore how we can engage government, media, corporations, not-for-profits and educational institutions in support of more equitable environment for our AAPI neighbors.

Our panelists will include: William Tong, Connecticut Attorney General Congressman Jim Himes, Connecticut 4th District Jeffrey Flaks, President & CEO of Hartford HealthCare Professor Marilyn Ford, Quinnipiac University School of Law Pauline Brody, Vice President, OCA Fairfield County.
