(1660 Johnson Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, Entrance 2)
Introduction: In the past year, the largest park in the City of Atlanta has been built in a low-income, predominantly black community in Atlanta, and Microsoft has announced its intentions to build a tech campus right by the park. As an under-resourced and historically marginalized community, Grove Park residents are highly vulnerable to gentrification and displacement as a result of these major infrastructure investments. For this event, we will take a tour of Westside Park and the surrounding community to learn more about what equitable and fair community development will require, including affordable housing, better transportation, and economic development, so that the people who live here are able to stay here and benefit from the revitalization of their community.
Details:This will be a community walking tour. The tour will start at Westside Park, 1660 Johnson Road NW, Atlanta, GA 30318, Entrance 2. The main points on the walking route will be the Westside Park Overlook, Grove Park’s Park, and Yeou-Rong’s home in the community. The tour will be about 2 miles of walking in total. If people would just like to attend the Westside Portion of the tour, it will be about half a mile of walking.
Speaker Bio: Yeou-Rong Jih is a Program Officer at The Kresge Foundation, which helps cities combat and adapt to climate change while advancing racial and economic equity. Before joining Kresge, You served as the Director of Urban Initiatives at Greenlink Analytics and the Senior Manager of Resilience Policy and Programs for the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Resilience to help cities and community-based organizations build more equitable climate and energy solutions through strong city-community partnerships. She holds a Master of Science in Research Psychology from the University of Oxford and a Bachelor of Science from Emory University in Neuroscience.
長青社區前瞻性的計畫方案和經驗分享 Aging in Community (AIC) Promising Programs & Lessons Learned
Aging-In-Community has been the preferred way to aging. What are some promising programs that promote aging-in-community? How do older adult participants perceive their ability to remaining independent at home and their neighborhood social cohesiveness? How might demographics such as age, marital status, & education play a role? This presentation will share surprising findings from three promising AIC programs in the United States. The audience will participate in live discussions on the strengths and challenges of current AIC models and programs and share adaptation ideas considering their own culture and values to improve quality aging-in-community, together.

Asian Americans are Americans. Constituting 5.6% of the American population in 2019, Asian Americans work hard, study hard, and live hard to contribute to the United States and to be recognized. The stereotypes and misconceptions about Asian Americans, which are abundant in American society since the 19th century, continue to divide people living on this free land. The American Dream that all Asian Americans hold up is the guarantee of the unalienable rights of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” revealed in the Declaration of Independence. To realize this dream, it is a must for all Americans, including Asian Americans, to know the life experiences of Asian Americans and the roots of anti-Asian violence in American history.
Therefore, we collect some information below for your information. We appreciate very much the contribution and assistance of our CAPASUS members to put together this list: They are Jimmy Chao, Esther Chiu, Mac Liu, Oliver Tu, and Ray Wang (in the alphabetical order of the last names). The first few parts – websites, articles, videos, and articles – are brief. If you are interested in learning more, welcome to move on to the section of books in the 2nd half of this document. While there are much more articles, links, videos, and books out there, we hope this list will help you to build the foundation.
