As a staff attorney for the Cop Accountability Project at the Legal Aid Society in New York City, Jennvine Wong has served as a legal observer at many Black Lives Matter protests and handled the emergency legal hotline to locate and provide legal assistance for arrested protesters. Being a legal observer, she has been in physical proximity to police brutality, and expressed shock at the level of violence she witnessed from the police during protests. She discussed how responses from the Asian and Asian American communities to the Black Lives Matter movement have been mixed, reflecting the diversity of experiences, education, and awareness within Asian America. She explained the continuing struggle of finding an unified Asian American political identity, and the ways in which the model minority myth has been used as a racial wedge to uphold white supremacy while dividing communities. She stressed the importance of initiating conversations within the Asian community and raising awareness on the causes of structural racism by grounding the discussions in terms of state violence and oppression. Reflecting on the events of 2020, Wong stressed the significance of community building, rapid mobilization, grassroots organizing, and solidarity between individuals and communities in elevating the social movement.
