Virtual Discussion – Overcoming Hate: Reflections of Healing Post-9/11

Thursday 9 December 2021, 6:00 pm -7:00pm PST, online (USA)

 

This September marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11, an event that has irrevocably shaped American politics and culture in the two decades since. While every community has felt the lasting impacts of September 11, our friends and neighbors in Muslim communities have experienced a horrific backlash of discrimination and overt Islamophobia over the last 20 years that continues today. In the past year, there has also been increased media attention around hate crimes directed at Asian Americans.

The past two years have been difficult and lonely, and though we are still not able to come together in person, we want to celebrate healing, resilience, and love with our Seattle friends, family, and neighbors. This Human Rights Day, the Seattle Human Rights Commission spotlights healing from hate crimes on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.

Community members from World Without Hate, AFT Washington, Washington State Senate, join us in a panel discussion about resilience and reconciliation from racially and culturally motivated hate.
