2. APANO's Legislative Advocacy: Bringing Community to Action
The Asian Pacific American Network of Oregon (APANO) is a statewide, grassroots organization, uniting Asians and Pacific Islanders to achieve social justice. We use our collective strengths to advance equity through empowering, organizing and advocating with our communities. We envision a just and equitable world where Asians and Pacific Islanders are fully engaged in the social, economic and political issues that affect us.
3. Asa Wright & Paulina Ramirez: Creative Resistance
Asa Wright is a Klamath/Modoc artist helping organize the art-for-action tent. Originally from Chiloquin, Oregon, Asa now lives in Portland, Oregon, where he works as a painter, graphic designer, tattoo artist, screen printer, and co-founder of the Portland Two Spirit Society.
Inés Paulina Ramírez (Cuenca, Ecuador 1984) is a queer Latinx multidisciplinary artist whose work has traveled between Mexico, the United States and Ecuador. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Cuenca, Ecuador and Masters of Urban Art from the National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City. Her work is a body of diverse geographies, crossed by the political and sociocultural experiences of Indigenous memory and inspired by the radical cultural imaginary of a borderless landscape. Through intimate and collective practice, her projects seek to initiate the process of recovery and decolonization of territory and body.
