10:15a-11:45a CONCURRENT WORKSHOP SESSIONS<\/b><\/p>\n

10:15a – The Power of \u2018We\u2019: Shaping a Filipino American Immigration Narrative
\n<\/b><\/a>[122 ABC]
\n<\/span>Presenter: <\/span><\/i>Aquilina Soriano<\/span><\/i><\/a>, Executive Director, Pilipino Workers Center<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

The border wall issue does not impact the Filipino American community the same as other immigrant communities, but the anti-immigrant sentiments and policies that are embodied by the \u201cBuild the Wall\u201d slogan are causing a lot of harm to Filipinos. The impact ranges from creating painful family separation to leaving workers more vulnerable to human trafficking. Join us for an interactive workshop that will weave the Filipino American immigration narrative with the lives of the participants and connect them to the most urgent immigration issues facing Filipinos today.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/i>Justin Tandingan<\/span><\/i><\/a>, Director of Corps Member and Alumni Impact,Teach For America, Los Angeles\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Too many efforts for educational equity relegate their understanding of inequity to African-American and Latinx communities. While it is clearly important to stand in solidarity with other communities of color that face injustice, this narrow narrative and rhetoric erases the stories and data of our own community’s experiences with inequity in education, as students, parents, and educators. In this session, participants will walk away (a) with a broader understanding of what contributes to educational inequity in our communities, (b) more strategically able to target their advocacy efforts, and (c) plugged into people and efforts making change in education NOW. Whether you’re already leading advocacy work, or want to understand advocacy or educational inequity for the first time, this session is for you.<\/span><\/p>\n
