Are you an AAPI/Asian American parent doing your best to embody social justice values (e.g. anti-racism, anti-genocide/apartheid, non-violence, decolonizing parenting and raising free children, collective liberation, etc.) as you navigate parenting & daily life in our modern world?
If you are... we see you! And, we'd love to invite you to a family-friendly event in the East Bay to connect you to your village AND give you some practical resources for your toolkit!
