SUMMARY:Visualizing Solidarity Relationships: Lessons for Philadelphia Journalists
DESCRIPTION:What can local journalism learn from the ways community groups come together? Three Philadelphia AAPI leaders share their experiences\n\n\nHow does inter-community solidarity work in practice? What can local journalism learn from the ways community groups come together\, and how can journalists use solidarity reporting to improve the accuracy of their stories? \nIn this inaugural Perspectives Local event\, three Philadelphia AAPI leaders will share their experiences in cross-community organizing\, particularly around neighborhood redevelopment projects. Neighborhood change is something every local newsroom covers\, and we hope the conversation will help journalists reflect on solidarity relationships in their own reporting\, and better understand anti-displacement organizing. \nOur speakers are: \n\nDebbie Wei\, founding member of Asian Americans United\nMohan Seshadri\, Co-Executive Director of the Asian Pacific Islander Political Alliance\nLan Dinh\, Co-Executive Director of VietLead\n\nThe event will be moderated by Perspectives’ Robin Kwong\, co-founder of Contemporary Narratives Lab and director of audience at The Wall Street Journal. It will include a moderated conversation with the speakers\, followed by small group discussions. \nDoors open at 4pm\, talks begin at 4:15pm. Non-alcoholic drinks and light refreshments will be provided. \nThe moderated on-stage conversation will be treated as on the record\, with the discussions afterwards taking place under Chatham House Rules\, which means that you can say what has been said without identifying who said it. If you want to quote something said during the Chatham House Rules session of the evening\, please seek their permission after the event. \nAbout the venue: \nSince its inception\, The Folk Arts-Cultural Treasures Charter School has been part of the Chinatown community’s struggle for survival. FACTS is located on what would have been the third base line of the Phillies stadium if the Chinatown community hadn’t risen up to oppose it. FACTS\, founded by Asian Americans United and the Philadelphia Folklore Project\, also came from a desire to build a model of liberatory education that leads to social transformation\, by helping young people analyze society and their place in it. \nThanks to our local partner\, Resolve Philly\, especially Jingyao Yu\, for their help in organizing this event. \nWhat is Perspectives?\nPerspectives is an ongoing effort by three journalists to find inspiration and strategies for tackling their industry’s biggest challenges beyond our usual frame of reference: other journalists. \nWe design and host events that introduce journalists to methods and frameworks from spaces outside news that can help them navigate our shared challenges\, including ways to manage change\, co-design with our communities\, adapt to new technologies\, employ radical imagination\, and build solidarity. \nLearn more at https://perspectives.info
