Asian American Advocacy at the Courts: 112 Years After Jew Ho v. Williamson
An entire neighborhood quarantined, the Chinese unable to leave. No, not COVID in 2022, but San Francisco in 1900. Public health law was used to oppress an entire people under false pretenses.
Come learn more about how the community fought back and won on May 15 during the next edition of our health policy series with Harvard professor Ameet Sarpatwari! 2022 proves to be a pivotal year at the Supreme Court with the looming overturn of Roe v Wade and a slew of high-profile cases on issues including immigration and gun rights. We bring Harvard Medical School professor Ameet Sarpatwari to talk about Asian American advocacy at the courts using a case that brings together anti-Asian racism, public health emergency powers, and Asian American resilience.
Come learn about how a brave Chinese American grocery store owner fought San Francisco in federal court and won. Professor Sarpatwari is professor of the highly-rated and student favorite course on public health law at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
Come join us for an engaging discussion, Sunday May 15 at 12pm ET/9am PT!
Post-Roe America: What Now? Legislative Efforts to Protect Abortion Access
Roe v Wade is now overturned, and along with it the Constitutional right to an abortion. APAMSA stands firm in its commitment to reproductive rights including access to abortion services as specified in our official statement.
In the next edition of APAMSA’s health policy series, we will hear from special guests Rachel Madley, legislative aid in the office of Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, and Moira Tan, health and reproductive justice fellow in the office of Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, on the legislative options under consideration to preserve access to abortion in America following the overturn of Roe v Wade. They will also share how medical students can help support these efforts in Congress.
