Dear Friend,

Have you heard about the horrifying new playground game called Coronavirus
Tag? This is when the Asian American kid is “it” so that whoever that kid
tags “gets the virus.” Yes, this game is actually happening and it’s
awful! It likely involves bullying and also reinforces harmful stereotypes
and promotes otherization and divisiveness. 

Regardless of color, ethnicity, religion, or gender identity, no child
should ever feel bullied or otherized, and it’s up to parents to see it
and stop it.

[ [link removed] ]Will you join a special online event for parents on Thursday, May 13,
7:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM PT to learn about how to build solidarity with Asian
Americans? RSVP NOW.

MomsRising and the [ [link removed] ]National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum
(NAPAWF) are holding a special and timely discussion for parents on how to
stop ongoing incidents of anti-Asian racism, like Coronavirus Tag. This
online conversation is part of our May observation of Asian American
Pacific Islander Heritage Month.  

During this online event, we’ll talk about:

* Some of the history of Asian Americans, and why otherization has
dogged this community, particularly in times of crises; 
* What Asian Americans are now experiencing that stemmed from Donald
Trump’s hateful policies and rhetoric, including the recent spike in
anti-Asian hate and violence, which is overwhelmingly and
disproportionately affecting women;
* Harmful stereotypes like the Model Minority myth;
* How to talk to children to humanize Asian Americans - or any group of
people perceived to be different from themselves - to fight bullying,
racism, and otherization; and 
* How to work with your school system to create an inclusive, welcoming
environment for all children.

Sung Yeon Choimorrow, Executive Director of the [ [link removed] ]National Asian Pacific
American Women's Forum, will be moderating this important and timely
conversation. She’ll be joined by: 

* Nadia Hussein, MomsRising Senior Director and School Bloomingdale, NJ
Board of Education Member;
* Sharon Kwon, psychotherapist for Asian American, BIPOC, and immigrant
populations; and
* Estella Owoimaha-Church, parent and educator based in Los Angeles.

Please forward this invitation to your family, friends, and everyone you
know who is interested in building solidarity with Asian Americans and
learning how to keep children safe from bullying or otherization.
