Beyond Allyship Ep 2: A Loving Letter to Asian “Wokeness”, Pt 1 of 2 ft. Darian Spearman and Lily Luo @UConn
In this second episode of Green Card Voices’ new series, podcast manager Asha Thanki and social media manager and former #LoveYourAsianNeighbors host Tri Vo sit down with Darian Spearman and Lily Luo, doctoral candidates at the University of Connecticut, to discuss how Asian Americans are communicating with their relatives about the movement for Black liberation, some political theory and history, and the steps they think must be taken next by communities to push forward.
Starting with critiques of different letters meant to bridge communication gaps, this conversation asks listeners how they’re ensuring their outreach to family and communities are truly conversations, how they’re keeping the fire from burning out, and lessons we can learn from organizers in the racial justice space. Part two of this conversation coming soon!

ABOUT THIS SPECIAL SERIES:
Green Card Voices is based in the Twin Cities, and, after the police murder of George Floyd, we are pivoting our platform to elevate Black voices and direct our listeners toward resources and actions they can take today to benefit the movement for Black liberation. Throughout this series, we highlight the work of local organizers while addressing how different immigrant and cultural communities can better align with the movement to take actions beyond a performative allyship and better act in solidarity with our Black communities.
