Join us in support of our friends and allies at the Philadelphia Folklore Project at 753 South 50th Street from 6-8pm for a photo exhibit curated by PFP, Asian Americans United and other partners. In December 2009, South Philadelphia High School erupted in violence against Asian American students, and as a result, dozens of the victimized students boycotted their high school and launched a civil rights campaign around a district's responsibility to provide a safe educational climate.

Our friends at Houses on the Moon, a New York City theatre company, are bringing Tara's Crossing, a play by Emmy-nominated writer Jefferey Solomon about a transgender woman fleeing Guyana for asylum in the United States, only to end up in a government detention center. The story tracks her fight to prove her persecution and why she has fled to the United States. It was inspired by dozens of interviews with sexual minority asylum seekers in New York, Washington, DC and San Francisco.
