Immigrant and Refugee Youth Organizing in Solidarity With the Movement for Black Lives
本文通过两个传记案例,展示了拉丁裔和亚裔美国太平洋岛民青年如何在自己的移民和难民社区中对抗反黑人种族主义,并参与抗议警察暴力,强调草根青年组织在培养跨种族团结中的作用。
In recent years, politically active Latinx and Asian American Pacific Islander youth have addressed anti-Black racism within their own immigrant and refugee communities, engaged in protests against police violence, and expressed support for #SAYHERNAME. Reflecting the broader patterns of a new political generation and of progressive social movement leadership, women and nonbinary youth have disproportionately committed to inclusive fights for racial justice. In this essay, through two biographical examples, we highlight the role of grassroots youth organizing groups in training their diverse young members to become effective allies, introducing them to intersectional frameworks that motivate solidarity across racial and ethnic boundaries.
