SUMMARY:Beyond 250: We Belong:  Citizenship and Exclusion
DESCRIPTION:Register for “Beyond 250: We Belong\,” a timely conversation on citizenship and exclusion in the U.S. with National Immigration Law Center\, Asian Law Caucus\, and the Black Alliance for Just Immigration (BAJI)\, happening tomorrow\, Wednesday\, June 17 at 10 am ET.\n\nBeyond 250: We Belong\nWednesday\, June 17\, 2026 10:00 AM ET / 7:00 AM PT \n\nBirthright citizenship is under attack. The 14th Amendment — born out of the fight to recognize Black Americans as full citizens — is being weaponized to strip citizenship from children of immigrants and redefine who this country claims as its own. \n\n\nThe United States’ 250th anniversary must be a moment of reckoning and taking stock of where we are as a country\, what it means to build a multiracial democracy\, and who truly has a path to citizenship and belonging. In the opening webinar of Advancement Project’s new campaign “Beyond 250: Another World is Possible\,” we embrace the concept that we belong in America’s next 250 years. \n\n\nWe’ll be joined by Cassandra Charles\, National Immigration Law Center; Nana Gyamfi\, Black Alliance for Just Immigration; and Aarti Kohli\, Asian Law Caucus\, as we examine the history of citizenship and exclusion in America\, the legal and political battles happening right now\, and what a democracy that truly belongs to all of us could look like.

SUMMARY:Loneliness\, Masculinity\, and the Manosphere to Reproductive Justice
DESCRIPTION: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). \nNAKASEC 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. \nSenior 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. \nSign 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!

SUMMARY:Honor Our Stories: Virtual Screening
DESCRIPTION:On behalf of our coalition partners at the Asian Migrant Border Alliance (AMBA)\, we invite you to join a virtual screening of Honor Our Stories\, a documentary short featuring testimonies from AANHPI community members impacted by Japanese American internment camps and Arizona’s “Show Me Your Papers” law. \nBy connecting these histories to present-day immigration policies and racial profiling\, the documentary explores how the AANHPI community has resisted injustice across generations. After the screening\, we will hear from panelists that can further speak on how the AANHPI community in California\, Arizona\, and New Mexico can find solidarity among our shared history and experiences. \nThis documentary short features powerful testimonies from AANHPI community leaders living through Arizona’s Japanese-American internment camps during WWII and discrimination under Sheriff Arpaio’s SB1070 law. \nBy linking past racial injustices and discrimination to present-day anti-immigration policies and racial profiling\, “Honor Our Stories” seeks to educate and empower our next generation of leaders to strengthen solidarity among AANHPI\, Indigenous\, immigrant\, and other marginalized communities in Arizona and beyond.

SUMMARY:Author Talk: Ruth Ozeki: The Typing Lady (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Booker Prize finalist and award-winning author of The Book of Form and Emptiness Ruth Ozeki returns for a reading from her dazzling debut story collection\, The Typing Lady. \nDiving into the depths of childhood ambition\, youthful desire\, midlife reinvention and the unsparing clarity of old age\, Ruth Ozeki’s new collection brings us into eleven singular\, richly imagined worlds and cements her as a writer at the height of her powers. A college student falls for her professor and learns to transmute longing into language. A disquieted husband watches as the ghost of his wife’s ambition roams the woods outside their home. A long-deceased Beat poet hijacks the mind of a young publishing assistant and rails against the state of modern literature. Intimate\, expansive\, and deeply philosophically engaged\, Ozeki uncovers the human drive to record ourselves in language — and how language\, over time\, records us in return. \nIn a revelatory evening of reading and conversation about the stories we tell ourselves\, the stories we abandon\, and the stories we become\, hear Ozeki discuss the art of writing and the lives — real and imagined — that shape us.
