When the topic of immigration is discussed, the pros always center on what immigrants have to offer America, including how immigrants built this nation (and enslaved Black people). Though well-meaning, our support shouldn't hinge on what others bring to the table. In today's episode, we discuss how we can show up for immigrants and other marginalized communities.

Take Action:

  • Learn how the “lo mein loophole” in racist immigration laws led to the creation of Chinese restaurants in the U.S.
  • Read about the history of Asian-American radical organizing.
  • Support organizations that advocate for Asian immigrant wellbeing, like Soar Over Hate.
  • Donate to mutual aid funds that support immigrant communities near you, like Oakland Workers Fund,
