Chisao Hata is part of the National Cultural Week of Action
Race Forward and Americans for the Arts are excited to announce a new initiative, the Cultural Week of Action on Race and Democracy. This annual initiative, hosted in partnership with local communities, brings people of all identities and backgrounds together to spark action towards creating a just, multiracial democracy. The inaugural week of action will be held Friday, September 27 through Saturday, October 5, 2024, in towns, cities, counties, and states across the country.
Together with local arts and culture institutions and community-based organizations, these projects and activities will spark conversations that touch on history, how it shapes our present, and how everyday people are organizing to build an equitable and racially just future. Local events will also inspire action that community members can take together to create a truly, just, multiracial democracy—starting in their own neighborhoods.
This is what the Cultural Week of Action on Race and Democracy is about. It’s about bringing people together through arts, culture, and creativity, in order to:
Learn about our history and how it shapes our present;
Listen to the people most impacted by injustice in this country about how we advance a vision of a just, multiracial democracy; Elevate the work of local arts and culture institutions, particularly in communities of color, that can resonate this vision through truth-telling and creativity; Spark collective action to advance racial justice, so that we can make our vision into a reality. -

September 28, 2024SAVE THE DATE: Saturday, September 28th, 10am-3:30pm PST
Trans Allyship: Learn, Grow, Act
Trans Allyship: Learn, Grow, Act is a joint effort by Okaeri, the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL), and PFLAG. This effort grew from the realization that the transgender community, and its Japanese American and API members, are largely invisible and misunderstood both in LGBTQ+ spaces and especially among allies. Through this symposium, we aim to address this gap by (1) facilitating a basic understanding of the trans community, and (2) emphasizing touchpoints of Heart, Head, and Home: to connect, educate, and encourage attendees to take action in their own communities. In doing so, we hope to educate and inform allies about the transgender community to help them make better-informed and more inclusive social, community, and civic choices. The symposium will be held virtually over Zoom on Saturday September 28th, tentatively from 10am-3:30pm PST, and will feature an opening plenary, guest speakers, workshops, and discussion groups exploring areas of advocacy, information, and family support. Registration is free and open to all.
