Our virtual town hall addressed anti-Asian racism related to the COVID-19 pandemic in Austin and Central TX. Our goal was to create a space for AAPI experiences around COVID-19 related racism to be shared and recognized, offer ideas and resources on how to protect our communities, and provide opportunities to build solidarity with the larger Austin community.
