Leadership takes many forms--through neighborhood organizing, labor rights advocacy, and elected office. For decades, Washington, D.C., has been a hub for Asian American leadership at the local, national, and global levels. “Across the Ages” highlights the stories of organizers who have shaped and continue to shape their communities in different ways. Featured speakers will share their journeys as leaders and engage in a moderated discussion, exploring how leadership and advocacy have evolved across generations.
