Hi, my name's Elim. I am the program director of Triple AF, or I was, for the runoff in general in 2020. Honestly, the ways that different communities of color came together in the runoff, that's something that's been happening for a while now, for at least 10 years, honestly. I mean, the only reason we got there was because of that, right, because all of us took responsibility for moving our own towards this greater goal of making Georgia potentially a less horrible place to live, right, because we care a lot about the people who live here. I started with the Asians for Abrams campaign back in 2018, right, so Stephanie Cho and I started that campaign, started the C4, because we recognize that it's very important to show that Asian Americans are showing up in this way, right, like, it's what you said, right, a lot of people don't know how to plug into these spaces because they as Asian Americans don't know where they fit, and are like afraid, honestly, of messing up, right, or misstepping, which is valid. So we kind of started that campaign as a model almost, or at least a space where people could explore how they wanted to, like, join the battle, right, or join the struggle. It was also about, like, black and Asian solidarity, honestly, like, showing up for Abrams in the way that we did because Abrams had showed up for us so hard for years before that. So taking that spirit with the Asians for also up in war, not campaign, we wanted to make it that, but bigger. So I show Yaku, actually, came on board as the director back in 2019, I want to say, and then spent, like, the next year building it up and getting it the budget it needed in order to have the level of exposure we needed to have. I think, yeah, honestly, it's like a really big part of our strategy is literally just like, hey, we're here, you know, progressivations exist. If you're one, you don't have to be afraid, there's a space for you. And if you didn't know we existed, we do, right. It was kind of just like, it's about carving out a space for ourselves, right. And doing it in a way that is generative and collaborative, and adds to the conversation instead of like taking space in it. It's really striking to me when you say like, you and Stephanie Cho, right, together started the Asians for Abrams campaign, like, both of you happened to be queer and trans-Korean people. And so I'm wondering, like, and I, like, I'm a New York City-based organizer and a lot of, I see also a lot of leadership from queer and trans-Korean's here as well. And so I'm wondering if you have just any thoughts about like what, what that's about or like, what role is it that that we as like queer and trans-Korean's play in this work? I mean, I think it's always been true of movement spaces broadly is like the most revolutionary work is being done by the people in the margins and the people in the margins are the queer firms, right, like, queer firms of color in our case queer-Korean firms, queer and trans. And I mean, that's just kind of what, like, how it happened, right, like, basically every radical movement happening in Atlanta right now is being headed by a queer firm. And so it's only appropriate that that's how it happened with us. And I think, I mean, it just makes the most sense to me, right, just because like, queerness is inherently, maybe not always in practice, but inherently in theory, like, liberatory, right? It's about expanding, instead of setting boundaries. And enforcing boundaries in a way that makes us feel safe with one another, right? And like, I feel like those are things that are critical in movement building, right? And those are things that you bring to the table almost intrinsically by being queer, right? Or at least queer is like a political identity, I suppose. Queer Koreans do not necessarily fit into, honestly, at all, sometimes the norms of what a Korean ought to be, right? Like, we're kind of thrown into the journey towards some kind of liberatory space from the get-go, right? Like, we already failed at this thing. So let's try and figure something else out, right? And then other people in watching that realize like, oh, I don't like these norms either, right? Like, this is bullshit. I want to co-create something for myself too. And then that's kind of how movement building has happened and for quite some time, actually, but particularly here. What are your personal hopes for this co-creation from as-and-to-me-you? I just like, well, you're like, I'm new to life, I know. Honestly, I'm really excited to see how, like, the co-illitional politics grow at this point, right? And also just like how with the grassroots organizing and the queer Asian spaces and even just, you know, the API spaces happens. Like, we have developed, like, an amazing space for QTBIPOC and these last, I want to say, like, well, it's always existed, but it's really been thriving in this last decade. And in the Asian American community in particular, right? Like, we just started, like, the second ever executive board for our queer Asian chapter here. Like, things are budding, right? Like, everything is nascent. There's just so much potential and possibility. And like, the politics in this out feel different from the ways that I've felt them in, you know, the Northeast, for instance, or in more progressive territories, right? Like, when you're in the South, like, you really have to go in on your beliefs if you want to win. And so, like, when you're organizing with people here, like, there's this beautiful mix of, like, intensity and urgency. And like, almost a desperation, right? Towards liberation and joy, right? Because like, in so many of us realize, like, especially in the South, if we want to actually win the battle, we need to survive the first one. So joy just became such a huge part of how we do organizing. And joy, and those spaces, like, where we feel joy are honestly so amazing. Like, in non-COVID times, there's this thing called let's or let that guy, right? And like, when you go, it's literally like, a mix of everyone, right? Like, you have some straight folks, you have a shit on a queer folks, there are, it's basically just like a room of like a QT, BIPOC, beautiful, myriad of sea of colors, whatever. And that's kind of what I'm excited to see grow, because that's also the space where you find like the radical organizers who are putting together, like, the shit that went down over the summer, right? Like, or any of the shit that happened in this past fall and winter, right? Like, I want a space that can be dedicated to liberation, not just through the struggle, but also enjoy, and in doing so, like, creating that very world that we want in the now, right? And I think that's actually like how those politics are being built. So I'm just, yeah, really excited to see that piece of the political university I're expanding. Being of joy, I will say that I was able to see your fellow KQT in Atlanta, toyon, and then, and then I found you on Instagram, and I found, what joyful photos of both of you like, making and showing off kimchi. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And we're honestly all gonna hop on Zoom next week for Lunar New Year to make dumplings together. So.
