🎭 Event description: A safe, open mic event for queer, trans and non-binary AAPI members to be in community with one another in light of the increased violence against our Asian elders and trans siblings across the nation. We wish for this event to be a Renaissance, if only for 2 hours, to bask in the power and vibrance of our strength through creativity, expressing our diverse, lived experiences as queer Asians. We hope for a renewal of spirit and healing, in conjunction with the beginning of springtime in Ohio.

We will be providing light refreshments and snacks, as well as selling caucus T-shirts, of which proceeds will be redistributed throughout the organization and/or its partnerships to support the Ohio AAPI community. Other free informational resources will also be available at our front desk, such as LGBTQ+ glossary terms etc.

🧢 OPAWL membership and caucus membership is limited to Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander women and non-binary folks. We welcome family, friends and allies of AAPI attendees/performers, including children!
