A media panel will examine if mainstream media and entertainment have contributed to the negative stereotypes of APIs and paranoia in the country; and what we can do about it. At the criminal justice panel, legal experts and community activists will examine the issues of racial profiling and selective prosecution in the API community. Intended outcomes include: (1) raise the awareness of these issues among APIs leaders; and (2) calls for action.

This seminar is for community leaders, concerned citizens, legal professionals, and students who care about the welfare of API community members and who believe in upholding the constitutional rights of all citizens in this country.
