FAAIM Special Screening:
The Auntie Sewing Squad Resistance Playbook

Directed by Valerie Soe [In-Person for Q&A!]

Not all heroes wear capes—they wear (and donate!) face masks. On October 22, join us for a screening of The Auntie Sewing Squad Resistance Playbook. Stepping up during the COVID-19 pandemic when the U.S. government failed to address public health needs, Kristina Wong launched this volunteer collective of largely Asian American and BIPOC women to handcraft and donate cloth facemasks across the nation. As police violence and anti-Asian rhetoric fueled more political upheaval, the group became a community space for solidarity, grief, anger, and hope. 

Be sure to attend this event to learn more about this mutual aid effort and see an example of grassroots activism.
