I've started a fundraiser for @aaja over on FB and am asking people to donate to help support the Asian American journalists who are doing so much hard work right now. If you prefer to donate directly, I'll post alternative links 👇 #StopAsianHate facebook.com/donate/1440515…

You can donate directly to AAJA here: aaja.org/donate/ You can also donate specifically to help AAPI journalists with mental wellness resources needed to process trauma resulting from both their work in the media industry and their daily lives. gofundme.com/f/AAPI-journal…

@aaja

@aaja is an organization dear and near to my heart. I was active member for many years and graduated from its Executive Leadership Program years ago. They are doing incredible work, and its members are facing bias in newsrooms even while covering anti-Asian hate crimes.

@aaja

@aaja ICYMI, just yesterday on @MeetThePress, there was a panel on anti-Asian hate that had no Asian panelists. The bias is real. Please elevate Asian American voices, and donate to @aaja at the link below, or here directly aaja.org/donate/ #StopAsianHate facebook.com/donate/1440515…

[LONG THREAD 🧵👇] I want to tell you about my grocery store, the King Soopers in Table Mesa that is less than a mile from my home in #Boulder. I walk there. I bike there. I drive there. I shop there.

It may be part of a large grocery store chain, but it's very much a neighborhood store. My husband was just there on Friday for our weekly food run. I popped in on Saturday. Yesterday, I biked with my 5 y.o. to the bagel place in the same shopping center to pick up breakfast.

It is impossible to leave my neighborhood without passing this store. It’s right at the intersection of several residential areas. In pre-covid times, I’d go several times a week. During covid, I go weekly. It’s where I get essentials: food for the family, and Rx for me.

@Junie4Boulder

Thank you to @Junie4Boulder @rachelkfriend @marydoloyoung @AaronBrockett12 @bobyatesboulder & the rest of City Council for appointing me to #Boulder's Human Relations Commission last night. I'm grateful for the opportunity and look forward to working with my fellow commissioners.

In my application, I talked about my desire to work on racial equity issues. It was surreal/sobering to be watching council proceedings at the same time as I was reading news about the murders in Atlanta.

It's no secret that my biggest apprehension about moving back to Boulder was the lack of racial diversity. It's also no secret that the reason I started working on #DEI issues at my kids' school is b/c of a racist gesture made in front of my 1st grade son on the playground.
