A Response to Anti-Asian Racism and Hate in 21st Century America
Rick Stambul was a foot soldier during the Civil Rights Movement, a past President of the Buddhist Churches of America, and a lawyer with a career focus on issues of Social Justice. He will ask you to be courageous in your thinking….to dare to see a Shin Buddhist path that calls out to you to confront the anti-Asian racism and hate we find in 21st century America. Exactly how can we use love, and not hate, to confront this racism and elevate ourselves in the process?
