SUMMARY:Live Poetry: Save Chinatown Anthology Reading
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Live Poetry at Independence Library and on Zoom! \nFor 150 years\, Philadelphia’s Chinatown has been the cultural heart of Philly’s Asian American and Pacific Islander communities\, and our community is worth fighting for. Chinatown has been the place where we share community\, culture\, and language. It is where generations of immigrants have found home. It is where folks who don’t speak English can easily navigate and find community\, and at a time of rising anti-Asian hate\, Chinatown is where we are safe. Chinatown is one of the few remaining communities of color and low-income communities in Center City\, and one of few authentic Chinatowns left in the country. The Save Chinatown Coalition includes: Pennsylvania United Chinese Coalition\, Philadelphia Chinatown Dragon Boat Team\, Asian Americans United\, Folk Arts-Cultural Treasures Charter School\, Chinese Restaurant Association of Greater Philadelphia\, Concerned Citizens of Chinatown Association\, Philadelphia Suns\, and Asian Arts Initiative. Join us as people respond in poetry to the fight to preserve neighborhoods\, preserve culture\, and against displacement or gentrification \nRegister for Zoom
