This event brings together Bay Area Asian American grassroots organizers and scholar-activists, Angelica Cabande, Pam Tau Lee, Robyn Rodriguez, Alex Tom and a representative from Anakbayan USA, who not only discuss their book chapters, but also reflect on the state of Bay Area Asian American activism past, present and future. The event is also dedicated to the memory of Amado Khaya Canham Rodriguez, a Bay Area bi-racial Asian American activist who would have celebrated his 24th birthday on May 9, 2022. He died suddenly of food poisoning in 2020 at the age of 22 while he was living with and learning from as well as serving indigenous communities in the Philippines. Prior to departing for the Philippines, he was active in the Black Lives Matter movement, supported Filipino migrant workers' issues and successfully fought against the expansion of the A's Coliseum, which would have displaced communities of color in Oakland's Chinatown.
