From the struggle for BIPOC rights to the impact of Covid on Chinatown and other ethnic communities to the rise in domestic violence as we shelter-in-place, this year has challenged our immigrant communities like no other. As part of our 2020 fundraiser Rebuilding the Dream, API Legal Outreach presents a series of three Centerpiece Conversations examining this year’s key issues driving our work and the world. These virtual events promise to be engaging, informative, and vital. Join us the first three Wednesdays in December at 6pm PT.
