Program Updates

Asian Media Access continues its "Stop Anti Asian Hate" effort with the support from Hennepin County

In this bloody Oct., 2023, Asian Media Access has observed all the discriminations and hates unfolded, with more than 3,700 people killed and more than 13,000 injured in Gaza. In Israel, 1,400 people have been killed and 3,500 have been wounded. Back home in the U.S., both Antisemitic and Anti-Muslim hate crimes are on the rise, and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland declared those incidents tied to Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.

Hate and discrimination have been longstanding issues in many parts of the world, and they have become particularly salient in recent years, many of our Asian American seniors have reflected back to the wars in homelands, and their fears of the Anti-Asian Hate crimes in this country.

Offering Non-stop Pop Up Vaccination Clinics

Working with our partners (CAPI USA, Chinese American Chamber of Commerce - MN, Chinese Community Center, Cub Pharmacy, Encouraging Leaders, HACER, Hmong American Partnership, MN Dept. of Health, NNPHI, UCare, and USAging), we have been able to support a weekly pop-up vaccination clinic throughout MN.

With the partnership, we have been able to implement a few community driven practices to further engage with BIPOC members...,

A WORLD PREMIERE ABOUT THE CHINESE ANDREW SISTERS

Making their way from Minneapolis to the flashing lights of Broadway in the 1930s, the Kim Loo Sisters singing quartet gained popularity during the swing era and performed across the country, on the silver screen of Hollywood, and overseas at USO shows. This new musical is based on their real experiences and is an homage to their family, love, their Chinese Polish American heritage, and the bond of these talented sisters through their lives on and off the stage. Join us for this uniquely American story of family, love, and the swingin’ music of the 1930s.
