On April 25, the Liyang Network presented "Report Back from the Philippines" to share their observations, experiences, and lessons they have learned in international solidarity work as part of this year's guest lecture series.

The Asian American Seed Stewards Project at UC Davis in collaboration with the the Amado Khaya Initiative is facilitating an environmental justice guest lecture and speaker series titled “We are Not Immigrants: Unsettling Asians in ‘America.’” The project examines the life histories and activism of mixed race Native and Asian community members at the forefront of indigenous struggles as well as the work of Asian American land stewards, working in the spaces of environmental justice and ecologically-informed, food production. It aims to lift up all the ways Asian Americans are resisting settler colonialism in California.
