This is Crucial is a live conversation and podcast focused on healing justice and racial equity. It’s about the conversations we are afraid to have, the issues we are scared to address, and the stories we have too long overlooked. Hosted by Amos J. Disasa and Charlene Han Powell, This Is Crucial invites guests and listeners to come with their questions and observations, hopes and heartache.

In this episode we will discuss the recent increase of attacks against people of Asian descent. Amos and Charlene will reflect on the mass shooting of 8 people, including 6 women of Asian descent, on Tuesday in Atlanta. Their conversation will be focused especially on why violence against people of Asian descent is often dismissed, how the struggle for justice among minorities can be shared, and what it looks like for followers of Jesus to offer refuge to vulnerable communities.
