Family Feast
Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 6PM
It is important to acknowledge that the broader city of Los Angeles sits on land that has historically belonged to the indigenous Gabrielino/Tongva people, whose community continues to live on and steward these lands today.
Welcome to the Family Feast!
At Hate Is a Virus, our theme for the year is Community Healing. In that spirit, we’d like to show appreciation for the work you do by extending an invitation to a private dinner of AANHPI community organizers and leaders.
Family Feast will take place on Thursday, September 28, 2023 at 6:00 PM in Los Angeles. Invite-only.
The last few years have been filled with heartbreak, celebration, and long hours of work and care. Yet our organizers’ indispensable efforts often go unnoticed and unappreciated, especially in mainstream media.
We’re hosting an intimate dinner to relax together, talk candidly, and build relationships in a low-pressure environment. We hope to take away a better understanding of how we can all coordinate and support each other.

Our Guests
In line with our theme of community care, we wanted our first dinner to be dedicated to community organizers in Los Angeles who have poured their hearts and time into caring for our community over the years. Our hope is that you continue to connect and uplift each other in the days to come!

Community Guidelines
We hope that in this space you share our intention to be fully present and focus on who we are as people as opposed to what we do. What we do is a reflection of our values and how we create the world we all hope to see.
