APANO Southeast Asian Community Listening Circle

Friday, November 10

6:00-8:00 PM

APANO will continue its 2017 Statewide Listening Circle Tour, focusing on the Southeast Asian community experience here in Oregon. This Listening Circle Tour is intended to deepen our member engagement and listen to voices in our communities. APANO is organizing listening circles throughout Oregon to better envision a just world where Asian and Pacific Islander (API) community experiences are prioritized and reflected in the issues and policies we advocate for.

A Listening Circle is comprised of 10-15 community members (API identified) who identify as Southeast Asian. We invite community members to participate and help shape APANO’s political agenda. During our time together, we hope to achieve these goals:

• To bring community members together to listen to one another, get to know each other, share stories and build a reflective space around social justice issues.

• To affirm, recognize our communities differences and strengths.

• To specifically address issues: including education, housing, immigration, health care, climate change.

• To provide input to shape APANO’s policy advocacy plan.

Details: Food & Refreshments provided. Childcare provided upon request. Listening Circle sessions will last approximately 2 hours. Portions of the Listening Circle will be noted and documented for internal organizational use.

Please register your interest and we'll follow up with more information!
