Thank you for registering! Visit the online event page on Eventbrite to participate in the live webinar on May 20.

In response to the alarming rise in anti-Asian racism, the Act2EndRacism Network has produced five short videos, seeking to counter disinformation and misinformation that has fueled anti-Asian sentiment. Join us on May 20th as we host a panel discussion with a special focus on two videos – “Yellow Peril” and “Model Minority”. Moderated by Teresa Woo-Paw, Founder of Action, Chinese Canadians Together, we will discuss with our panelists why the yellow peril narrative still persists today. In what ways do our systems and structures uphold this form of racism? How has this narrative impacted racialized Canadians as employees, students, community members and, as we strive to be equal citizens?Addressing systemic racism requires us to reflect and go underneath the surface. Our goal is to go beyond what has been discussed previously so we can find ways to resolve anti-Asian sentiments. Panelists:<ul><li>The Honourable Bardish Chagger, Minister of Diversity and Inclusion and Youth </li><li>Deputy Minister Daniel Quan-Watson</li><li>Marie-Claude Landry, Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission</li><li>Dr. Gina Wong, Founder and Ambassador Asian Gold Ribbon campaign</li><li>Moderator: Teresa Woo-Paw, Founder of Action, Chinese Canadians Together</li></ul>For their full bios - visit <a href="https://act2endracism.ca/lets-talk-webinars/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>. This event will also be held in conjunction with the launch of the inaugural Asian Gold Ribbon day, an initiative by Dr. Gina Wong and Sheila Wong. The Asian Gold Ribbon 2021 Campaign urges individuals, organizations, and communities to demonstrate solidarity against Asian racism and to recognize its profound psychological impact. Asian and non-Asian persons will adorn face masks with the gold ribbon emblem and gold ribbon pins throughout the month of May to signify hope, unity, and solidarity for a better tomorrow.
