Situated in UC Irvine, California, our endeavor stands as a beacon for those eager to (re)build solidarity among transnational activists. By employing a relational organizing approach, our monthly gatherings serve as a nexus where shared experiences converge, fostering a community that thrives on empathy, collaboration, and shared purpose. Recognizing the ever-evolving dynamics of U.S.-Sinophone relations, we proudly introduce our annual conference—a pioneering platform designed to bring U.S.-Sinophone Studies scholars and activists into dialogue. Together, we envision a safe and brave space where borders, be they geographical or ideological, become bridges to mutual respect and progress.
