With the rise in violence and anti-Asian sentiment in the United States and other places, we want our community members that are of Asian and Pacific Islander descent to know that we at the Tishman Center stand in solidarity with you and strongly condemn any attacks against people based on race and/or national origin. We, as a center, want to express our support and share resources that can help people understand the issues around Anti-Asian sentiment and ways to push back against it. In the face of white supremacy, the best strategy is work together and towards freedom and safety for us all. Please let us know if you would like to add to this list at tedc@newschool.edu
