We’re so incredibly humbled by, proud of, and feeling inspired by our Southeast Asian Youth Power (SEAYP) youth leadership community showcase: Lines To Roots, hosted by our gracious partners at UOP’s @apidatpacific!
This year’s community event was inspired by the young leader’s critical examination of the historical and modern impacts of redlining in Stockton and communities across the country as it relates to inequities not just in housing and schooling, but also in policing, health, and wealth.
The young leaders engaged family, friends, and community members on thinking and sharing about the impacts of redlining and also invoked our ancestors and cultural roots as inspiration to resist and transform redlining’s impact on our community.
A big thank you to:
