In this powerful episode of Unpolitics, Ben Kaplan speaks with Russell Jeung, co-founder of Stop AAPI Hate and professor at San Francisco State University. They dive deep into the persistent racism faced by Asian Americans, how global tensions like US-China relations affect local communities, and the evolution of the Stop AAPI Hate movement. Jeung shares insights on the power of collective action, the importance of family-oriented mobilization, and the need for long-term policy changes to combat racial violence. This conversation sheds light on how communities can turn trauma into meaningful, lasting change.
