Activists write books, too!
As part of National CAPACD 15th anniversary celebration, we are hosting a book reading and discussion with three prominent community leaders who have recently published books on community development and racial justice. Aleyamma Mathew will moderate an interactive discussion with authors Gordon Chin, Uncle Bob Santos, and Deepa Iyer as they share their thoughts on the past, present, and future of social justice movement building as part of National CAPACD and the greater Asian American and Pacific Islander community. Their books will be available for purchase and signing.
