This Wednesday, join us for a virtual fireside chat about loneliness, masculinity, and the Manosphere with our friends from the National Korean American Service & Education Consortium (NAKASEC).

NAKASEC released groundbreaking research earlier this year that examines the digital media habits, emotional experiences, and exposure to manosphere content among Asian American men. Their findings offer important insights into how loneliness, isolation, and the search for belonging can make young men vulnerable to online communities that promote misogyny, anti-feminism, and harmful gender norms.

Senior Director of Policy, Fajer Saeed Ebrahim and Rachel Koelzer, Communications Director at NAKASEC will discuss what these findings mean for our movements. Together, they’ll explore how the rise of the manosphere intersects with broader attacks on gender equity, reproductive freedom, and community well-being, and discuss what advocates, organizers, and community leaders can do to build healthier pathways to connection and belonging.

Sign up for this discussion here. The event will run from 2:00 to 3:00pm ET on June 17th, and is free to join. All you need is a device that can handle a Zoom call!
