        Asian American men: *pass* the media mic to Asian American women who have an intersectional understanding of the racialized misogyny in the #Atlanta shootings & who are deeply connected to communities. (2/7)

        Asian American academics: *share* the media mic with nonprofit & movement leaders. We need your historical lens, yes, but pls consider writing a joint oped or connecting journos w/ local advocates. And consult with community groups before characterizing & making policy asks.(3/7)

        Asian American natl advocates,thought leaders, celebrities: *organize* elected leaders & foundations to focus first on local voices & infrastructure. Sit the hearing out to bring in a local voice. Refuse the funding unless it supports local groups. Use access to organize. (4/7)

        With the eyes of many sectors on Asian Americans, this is the time to use power & access to organize for a much broader, long-term vision to ensure that community members can live with safety & dignity. It isn't a sound byte or personal opportunity. It's about building power 5/7

        Here's a link to an Asian American table of national & local groups that came together last March to deal with anti-Asian hate during COVID. Find a media inquiry form, policy asks & local voices & more there: https://bit.ly/AATable4Georgia . (6/7)

        Some us academics are also community people... and in my case also from Atlanta.

        Yes! Consider supporting @AAAJ_Atlanta or your local AAAJ chapter.

        I should add that @aaaj_alc and other affiliates have been working with the Atlanta affiliate so donations to your local also support a national network.
