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.

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 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.

CLICK HERE to sign up for this special online event for parents.

Sung Yeon Choimorrow, Executive Director of the 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.

RSVP now.

In solidarity,

- Gloria, Nadia, Donna, Mandy, Joy, and the whole MomsRising.org/MamásConPoder Team
