This event is in partnership with KORE at YCAR (York Centre for Asian Research (YCAR)), and RCPS (Resource Centre for Public Sociology, York University) at York University . [Description] How can we talk to our Asian parents, siblings, friends, and families about anti-Black racism? How can we work to dismantle the stereotypes, tropes, and divisive narratives that strain the relationship between Asian and Black communities? How can we hold space for the lived experiences of intergenerational anti-Asian racism and trauma while also fighting anti-Black systems within our communities? And how can we do this with consideration to the specific contexts, nuances, and cultural barriers involved with being members of racialized communities? Join us for an in-depth discussion on how we can engage our Asian family members (and ourselves) in critical conversations about how we can address and discuss anti-Black racism. . **While non-Asian folks are welcome to attend this event, please note the discussion will be focused on how members of Asian diasporas can reflect, learn, and commit to fighting anti-Black racism without causing additional harm to other communities.** See more

KPWA stands in solidarity with the Black community. All Black Lives Matter. We have witnessed horrific deaths, violence, and brutality against our Black brothers and sisters. We have seen the gross injustice and inequity that oppress Black communities everywhere. As people of colour, we must not remain silent. Silence is complicity in a racial caste system that fuels hatred and oppression against the Black community. We must become better allies and actively work to dismantle... systemic racism and the institutions that uphold it. KPWA was founded on the mission of filling the gap for womxn of colour, particularly those in the Korean community; however, we recognize and acknowledge that in order to tackle systemic racism head-on, we must first address anti-Blackness within our own community. We must also support Black communities through our work, for no community can truly thrive and be safe if the system demeans another. We hold ourselves accountable. Over the last month, we have started conversations around Black Lives Matter and systemic racism, and we will address these issues head-on with the following commitments and actions. By making them public, we encourage you to hold us accountable as well. [1] We believe that addressing racism starts with conversations at the local level. We will hold an internal forum with all of our committee members to open and facilitate dialogue on Black Lives Matter and systemic racism. [2] We will create spaces for our KPWA membership base to address anti-Black sentiment and systems of oppression within the Korean Canadian community. We will cover topics ranging from how to talk to parents about anti-Blackness, as well as how racist notions such as the model minority myth and tokenism pit Asian communities against Black communities. [3] We will reach out to leaders and experts of anti-racism work in Toronto to help guide and shape our discussions on racism, intersectionality, and how we can strengthen our allyship to the Black community. [4] We will actively seek out collaboration with other BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Colour) communities through our programming in order to contribute to change in the fight against racism and injustice. It is crucial to support, protect, and amplify the stories and experiences of Black Lives. We cannot hope to be true advocates of anti-racism for Asians if we do not extend the same advocacy to all minority groups. The fight against racism and systemic oppression is a movement, not a moment, and we are committed to doing the work. #BlackLivesMatter

This Thursday, join us for an important and overdue conversation on systemic racism and how we can do the work to become better allies. We are grateful to be partnering and collaborating with incredible organization such as @kcsfofficial @kclaofficial @cablnational @cdnroots. Register at KCSF.ca/beyond-allyship

Do you like to relax by curling up with a good book? June Hur’s The Silence of Bones is set to release this April, and has already been selected by the American Booksellers Association as one of the top debuts of Winter/Spring 2020! June will be talking about exploring your Korean roots and reclaiming your heritage through your art. Here’s a little excerpt from The Silence of Bones:... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1800, Joseon (Korea). Homesick and orphaned sixteen-year-old Seol is living out the ancient curse: May you live in interesting times. Indentured to the police bureau, she’s been tasked with assisting a well-respected young inspector with the investigation into the politically charged murder of a noblewoman. As they delve deeper into the dead woman's secrets, Seol forms an unlikely bond of friendship with the inspector. But her loyalty is tested when he becomes the prime suspect, and Seol may be the only one capable of discovering what truly happened on the night of the murder. But in a land where silence and obedience are valued above all else, curiosity can be deadly. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JOIN US this Saturday, March 7th at the KPWA’s International Women’s Day Event, Our Stories.

Evaluating the Experiences of Korean-Canadian Caregiver-Employees in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area Study Participants Needed! A study is currently being done on the experiences of Korean-Canadian who have engaged in paid employment while also providing unpaid care to a significant person in their life (such as a family member, a spouse, a friend, etc.). In addition to furthering the current understanding of the experiences of Korean-Canadian caregiver-employees, the s...tudy also aims to identify how support strategies can be modified to better address their needs in a culturally appropriate manner. The research is being conducted as part of a third-year project course in the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University. This study has been reviewed by, and received ethics clearance by the McMaster Research Ethics Board. All participants in the study will be asked to complete a 10-15 minute sociodemographic questionnaire as well as a 0.5-1.5 hour interview (online or in-person). The involvement of all participants will remain completely confidential in the study findings, and participants will be permitted to withdraw from the study at any time prior to the end of the study. All participants will receive a $25 Tim Hortons gift card for their time! If interested, please contact Joonsoo Sean Lyeo, Bachelor of Health Sciences Faculty at McMaster University.

Help save the Rose of Sharon Sign the Petition The Rose of Sharon is Canada’s only long-term care facility that caters specifically to Korean-Canadian elderly.... The RoS is currently at risk of being sold by a court appointed receiver to an independent for-profit buyer and the Korean Canadian community has serious concerns for the Korean elderly already living at the RoS. The community is concerned that the bidding process did not fully consider the Korean community or the residents of the home. We want to advocate for the continued culturally specific services to the residents and also to the over 150 Korean Canadians anxiously waiting on the wait list. Although the receiver is informing concerned family members that the winning bidder "will" continue to provide such services, we believe the government has the obligation to set out the parameters of the terms and conditions of the licence transfer. Moreover, we feel that the transfer of the licence to a for-profit organization is not going to serve the needs of the community at large. This petition is being managed by: The Korean Canadian Cultural Association Korean Senior Citizens Society of Toronto HanCa Seniors Association
