[Jan 23] NORTHERN CA: Stanford University: 4th Annual Asian American Issues Conference

“Listen to the Silence” is Stanford’s annual Asian American community issues conference organized by the Asian American Students’ Association (AASA). “Listen to the Silence” started in 1995 out of the need to increase visibility of Asian American issues and to educate both those in and outside of the community about the real conditions of the Asian American community. The conference goals have since expanded to include the empowerment of Asian American students to take direct action to improve their communities and work towards social justice. This year marks the 14th Anniversary of “Listen to the Silence,” which will be held in January 2010.
