The Asian-American Student Association (AASA) at the University of Utah will be holding an Awareness Week April 3 through 6. The theme is “Collective Liberation” — fliers around campus and online advertising the week broadcast the statement, “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free.”

Samah Safiullah, the organizer of the week, believes that AASA’s events can unite the various groups of people that are subjected to systemic oppression.

“It’s important for us to understand how our oppressions and our marginalizations are interconnected and how we can all come together to build a community with each other and try to create our own safe spaces on campus,” said Safiullah.
