I want to tell you about these Asian & Black solidarity stories @JessicaQChen & I did for @latimes. @diananguyenart's art is so beautiful & the video makes me tear up, watching @rtajima @DocMellyMel @zentronix talk & @ashlynso_ representing our future.🧵
latimes.com/lifestyle/stor… After Atlanta spa shootings, @JessicaQChen wanted to film young Asian American activists. She found 13-year-old @ashlynso_ in Oakland organizing a Black & Asian solidarity rally, after the viral videos of Asian seniors being attacked were causing tensions.

This panel was an extension of @agnesconstante's 3-part @NBCAsianAmerica series, “The Impact of Covid-19 on Filipino Americans,” supported by @DanielleRoseFox & USC's @ReportingHealth Center for Health Journalism 2020 Data Fellowship. Check out stories below! 🧵 Filipino Americans account for 4 percent of the nurses in the U.S. but about 25 percent of Covid-19 deaths among nurses. Some are leaving the profession, prioritizing family and feeling a sense of resilience.

Moderator @agnesconstante asking @AGRobBonta about working on data disaggregration bill & how they got pushback. During the pandemic, that data helped them see disparate impacts on Filipino Americans, Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders etc. & helped them address these disparities. Pretty cool that @AGRobBonta, the first Filipino American state legislator + first Filipino American attorney general, is part of this panel "Why Filipino Americans Count: A Conversation on Disaggregrated Data."
