Getting Organized with Sarinya Srisakul

Sarinya was the first ever Asian woman firefighter in the FDNY and is the founder of Angry Asian Womxn, an organization centering safety, wellness, and community for women, femmes, and gender expansive folks affected by anti-Asian racism and Islamaphobia. Angry Asian Womxn is currently running a fundraiser for mutual aid to Gaza until 11/22/2024, and especially for any Sanrio lovers - I highly recommend checking it out! We talk about Sarinya’s experience almost stumbling into organizing as well as navigating her racialized and marginalized identity in the workplace. We also discuss Palestinians and Muslims being within our AAPI community therefore deserving of our solidarity, as ever a reminder that collective liberation means liberation for all.  Sarinya reminds us that we have the power to use our voices and take action to bring about the change and justice we want to see in the world. Sarinya’s IG Angry Asian Womxn’s linktr.ee Leah’s IG
