AAUC Podcast #25 - Gun Violence in the AAPI Community #CarlChan #MontereyPark #HalfMoonBay #Oakland

Gun violence throughout the country continues to increase. Tragically just last week two shootings struck AAPI communities in California,  Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay, in addition to a third event in Oakland, all within 72 hours. And although the Oakland event did not specifically involve Asian Americans, they and everyone else living there have been organizing the community attempting to refute the killing and violence that results from guns. Join us in our discussion with Carl Chan, a prominent and longtime Oakland community leader, who describes the problems and efforts they are employing to make their community safer. Carl informs us not only about the problem but also the efforts for solutions while also reminding us of the history of discrimination that we must not forget so as to avoid past mistakes and injustices.
