Hello all,
Please join us next Tuesday, May 24 at 1PM EST for the next webinar in our Health Justice Now series:
A Conversation with AAPI Health Advocates
In recognition of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, Families USA will host a virtual roundtable inviting AAPI leaders to share their thoughts and have an open dialogue about an array of health-related topics that affect the AAPI community, including access to health services, vaccine equity, mental health, and policy advocacy.
Attendees will have an opportunity to hear from influential leaders at the local, state, and national levels who work daily to address the ongoing challenges and stigmas faced within the AAPI community. Please see featured panelists below:
-
Sarah Liu, Public Health Program Coordinator, Hamkae Center
-
Azizah Ahmad, Policy & Community Advocacy Manager, Asian Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF)
-
Sami Sapkota, Behavioral Health Coordinator, Asian American Health Initiative (AAHI)
-
Yingjia Huang, Assistant Deputy Director, California Department of Health Care Services
Speakers will also share resources and reflect on the strong sense of leadership, resilience and courage shown within AAPI communities, particularly during the spike in hostility towards Asian Americans with the COVID-19 pandemic.
