Kathy Tran – Being Jewish/Asian/American as a Public Figure

Virginia Delegate Kathy Tran came to the U.S. from Vietnam with her parents when she was 5 months old. Her husband is Jewish and her family is active at a Reform synagogue.  Kathy will discuss the Jewish/AAPI experience, including how anti-Semitism is felt by Jewish spouses who don’t present as traditionally “Jewish,” and recent challenges faced by both the Jewish community and Asian Americans. Before Kathy decided to run for office (following the 2016 presidential election), Kathy focused on providing families equal opportunity at the U.S. Department of Labor and the National Immigration Forum.  Kathy has been active on many issues including the Equal Rights Amendment and pro-choice issues in Virginia, where 2023 is an election year.
This program will be only 60 minutes because of the Pesach program, which will begin at 11am. The Pesach program will not be streamed.
