RELIEF:
An APIA Benefit for Hurricane Katrina Survivors
Thursday, Sept. 29 Doors open 7pm / Show starts 7:30pm
@ The ImaginAsian
239 E. 59th St. (b/w 2nd & 3rd Ave.)
New York City
$7-$30 sliding scale
New Orleans : Home of Cajun cooking and jazz music, the birthplace of Asian
American history. 400 years ago, Filipino settlers established the first
known Asian American community here. In recent weeks, the entire city has
been ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, and thousands have lost loved ones,
homes, and livelihoods.
Media coverage of the natural disaster has consistently shown FEMA and the
Red Cross helping to rebuild the lives of those affected. But firsthand
accounts of survivors and volunteers in the hurricane-hit region have
radically contrasted these accounts. Thousands of displaced immigrants and
undocumented residents, including Vietnamese and other poor communities of
color, have been neglected and denied aid from the government, due to
language barriers and lack of documentation.
It is up to us, the APIA community, to help out our brothers and sisters in
need, because, as writer K.W. Lee has said, "We are our first and last line
of defense." Come out to support these communities who are still in need
down South! 100% of proceeds go to There Are No Words.*
