The New Generation of Asian American Activists
from Fifth & Mission · host San Francisco Chronicle
The Chesa Boudin recall has spotlighted the activism and political power of Asian Americans, but the Bay Area already has a long history of Asian American activism. While the latest generation has been motivated by public safety concerns, that doesn't mean they're all advocating for more policing. Justin Zhu, the co-founder and executive director of Stand With Asian Americans, joins host Cecilia Lei to talk about his pivot from Silicon Valley to organizing, and what this moment means for him. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Learn more about your ad choices.
