Dawn-Lyen Gardner Instagram – [TW: second slide, racial violence] Sending love to my API siblings today ❤️ especially Christina Yuna Lee’s family and loved ones.

Repost from @weinspirejustice

TW: For Valentine’s Day, we want a culture of real love and community care. A love that prioritizes the safety of Asian women and vocally condemns the racist and sexist dynamics that allow for violence against them to go invisibilized. Our hearts — and our action — is with #ChristinaYunaLee, #MichelleAlyssaGo, the victims of the Atlanta mass shootings, and all other Asian women who have been victimized by a society that chooses to look away and outsource responsibility to others.

With love and solidarity, until all of us are free ❤️😔
Dawn-Lyen Gardner Instagram – Starting Black History Month with the Lunar New Year reminds me of how interconnected the Asian and Black communities have been for decades, if not centuries. These photos of Dr King and Thich Nhat Hanh are the manifestation of that legacy. 

During a press conference in 1966, they released this joint statement:

“We also believe that the struggles for equality and freedom in Birmingham, Selma and Chicago, as in Hue, Danang and Saigon, are aimed not at the domination of one people by another. They are aimed at self-determination, peaceful social change, and a better life for all human beings. And we believe that only in a world of peace can the work of construction, of building good societies everywhere, go forward.”

This kindred connection stemmed from a mutual understanding of being up against the same systems.

Dr. King had great respect for Asian leadership and fought against the war in Vietnam until his last breath. In the same vein, in Vietnam, they called MLK a bodhisattva — the Buddhist term for “an enlightened being trying to awaken other living beings and help them move toward more compassion and understanding”.

The friendship and legacy shared by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Thich Nhat Hanh, now both ancestors, is a beautiful example of this solidarity and what it means to be in pursuit of Black Liberation and the Anti-war/Peace Movement.
