Panelist include: Ericka A. Hoagland, Associate Professor & Coordinator of Graduate Studies, English & Creative Writing, Stephen F. Austin State University; Co-Author of Science Fiction, Imperialism, and the Third World; Libia Brenda, Writer, Editor, and Translator, based in Mexico City; Climate Imagination Fellow, Center for Science and the Imagination, Arizona State University; Ken Liu, American Author of speculative fiction; winner of the Nebula, Hugo, and World Fantasy awards; winner of top genre honors in Japan, Spain, and France; Isis Asare, CEO/Founder of Sistah Scifi, first Black-owned bookstore focused on science fiction & fantasy in the US, validated by the American Booksellers Association; Samit Basu, Indian Novelist and Filmmaker whose body of work includes science fiction, fantasy and superhero novels, children's books, graphic novels, short stories, and nonfiction.

Public fears about using public transit have risen dramatically over the last 2 years, as stories about random — and sometimes fatal — attacks on passengers have been front-page news. The streets around public transportation are no safer. Women, seniors, people of color, and members of the disabled and LGBTQ+ communities are disproportionately the targets of such attacks and often find no recourse when they report such incidents to local law enforcement. Speakers this week will discuss new legislation addressing the safety of public transportation and the streets, policies to ensure safety on public transport, and ground-level initiatives already in place.

One victim will share her story of being attacked on the New York subway system. Speakers include: California State Senator Dave Min; Janice Li, Bay Area Rapid Transit Board President; Peter Kerre, Founder of Safe Walks NYC; Esther Lee, who was attacked on the New York subway system.

This segment of TAGS, through a briefing hosted by Ethnic Media Services is: "Domestic Abuse Takes Many Forms?”

1 out of every 2 people in California - including children - have been exposed to domestic violence, according to new research by the Blue Shield Foundation of California. Nationally, 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will experience physical violence by their intimate partner at some point during their lifetimes, according to CDC data.

Domestic violence can take many forms. Technology abuse - stalking, harassing someone by text, using apps to track their whereabouts - and coercive control are two forms of violence that often go unreported.

Speakers this week will focus on DV via technology, coercive control, policy at the California state level, and policy changes emerging from the Biden administration, including the expansion of the Violence Against Women Act and the White House plan. Speakers will also address whether immigrants are more vulnerable to abuse because they lack the resources and support for help.

Panelist include Jenna Lane, Communications Officer, Blue Shield Foundation of California; Pallavi Dhawan, Director of Domestic Violence Policy, Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office; Deborah Tucker, president of the Board of Directors, the National Center on Domestic and Sexual Violence; and Eria Olsen, Director of the Safety Net program, National Network to End Domestic Violence.)
