SUMMARY:Community Archives: Preserving & Protecting AAPI History
DESCRIPTION:Fewer than 25% of all Asian Americans say they are familiar with Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) history. Today\, as immigrant communities face renewed threats to their rights and safety\, the teaching and study of U.S. history remains a cultural flashpoint. \nHow do AAPI-led community archives preserve and protect forgotten AAPI history\, and protect community stories from being lost? How are community archivists navigating a changing funding climate\, and how can general-interest in-language and community news outlets partner with AAPI community archives to contextualize today’s changing political landscape and to engage their audiences? \nJoin us for a special discussion and interactive workshop with Filipino American\, Japanese American\, and South Asian American community archivists\, as we commemorate AAPI Heritage Month. \nIf you have any questions\, contact Kavitha at kavitha.rajagopalan@journalism.cuny.edu. \nRegister to attend the Community Archives event \n\nSpeakers \nRandy Gonzales\, Founder of Filipino La.:  A native New Orleanian of Filipino descent\, Randy Gonzales is a poet\, writer\, and community historian who researches and shares the stories of Filipino Louisiana.

SUMMARY:Protecting Older New Yorkers from the Trump Administration’s Federal Funding Cuts\, Thursday\, June 5\, 6 p.m. 
DESCRIPTION:Panel discussion followed by light refreshments \nFederal funding cuts are hitting New York’s most vulnerable older residents hard—and the story is developing rapidly. Since the Trump Administration took office in January\, the federal government has drastically cut funding at multiple agencies that support older New Yorkers. Services that deliver food to isolated older people or provide relief from extreme summer heat are on the chopping block. Medicaid\, Medicare and Social Security are under attack. \nFor reporters interested in the aging beat\, understanding the complex network of city\, state and federal policies as well as the many nonprofit agencies operating in this space—and how this complex ecosystem is responding to the federal cuts—can be daunting. In this panel discussion\, New York City policy experts\, frontline service providers\, and funders will brief  journalists and the public on a story that will impact older New Yorkers for years to come. \nPanelists: \n \nCrystal Hudson\, Council Member for New York City’s District 35 in Brooklyn\nHudson is chair of the City Council’s Committee on Aging and represents the neighborhoods of Crown Heights\, Prospect Heights\, Clinton Hill\, and Fort Greene. A third-generation Brooklynite\, she was first elected in 2021 and made history as one of the first out gay Black women elected in New York City. \n  \nAnderson Torres\, President and CEO of Regional Aid for Interim Needs (R.A.I.N.) Total Care\, Inc.\nBorn in Ponce\, Puerto Rico\, and raised in the South Bronx\, Dr. Torres leads Regional Aid for Interim Needs\, Inc.\, an organization that provides a range of services for low-income elderly people\, including  home care\, older adult centers\, home-delivered meals\, integrated care coordination\, housing\, case management\, advocacy\, support groups for older adults and their caregivers\, Alzheimer’s initiatives\, transportation\, and intergenerational programs. \nLindsay Goldman\, CEO of Grantmakers In Aging\nLindsay Goldman leads Grantmakers In Aging\, a membership association of funders mobilizing money and ideas to strengthen policies and resources for all of us as we age. Before taking the helm in 2021\, Goldman was founding director of the Center for Healthy Aging at The NY Academy of Medicine. \n  \nModerator:  \nAllison Nickerson\, Executive Director\, LiveOn NY\nNickerson has devoted her career to enhancing the quality of life for aging populations. LiveOn NY represents more than 100 non-profits—from small\, single-site centers to large multi-service organizations—that serve older adults throughout New York State. \nThe event is made possible with support from the Congregational Home Legacy Fund (CHLF). CHLF was established in 2021 for the purpose of supporting policy and program initiatives addressing the issues of aging and the lives of the elderly in New York. It was funded with the proceeds of the sale of the New York Congregation Nursing Center\, the successor to the Congregational Home for the Aged (established in Brooklyn in 1906) which served the frail elderly of New York City continuously for more than a century. The trustees currently support projects related to housing\, advocacy\, and public awareness of aging issues. \n
