What is LTS?
Listen to the Silence is Stanford's annual Asian American issues conference sponsored by the Asian American Students' Association (AASA). LTS began in 1995 out of the need to increase the visibility of Asian American issues and to educate those in the community and beyond about the 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 collective liberation. Ultimately, the Listen to the Silence conference aims to provide tangible tools and resources to inspire, educate, and empower participants to work towards creating a more equitable and fair society as part of the broader movement for social justice.
Pathways Illuminated: Shedding Light on Your Role in Asian American Activism
The theme for this year’s annual Listen to the Silence conference is Pathways Illuminated: Shedding Light on Your Role in Asian American Activism. With protests/demonstrations taking place in colleges around the country to multiple student groups fighting for school districts to take on more sustainable practices, there are a variety of examples to draw from that showcase that change in our society starts with our youth. As inspiring as this ensemble of young people across the nation are, for some individuals, it can be intimidating to know where to begin to take a stand. For LTS this year, we plan to shed light on activists who started their journey during their time in university as well as organizations that are involving youth in the realm of activism.
We hope that through this conference, by demonstrating these examples of activism led by the youth that is slated to change it, we can build a pathway for everyone to get involved regardless of background.
