Grant Recipient
Filipino American Council of Greater Chicago
This elderly-centered project called “Lots of Love” (LOL), part of a three-year program by the Filipino American Council of Greater Chicago (FACGC), is a culturally sensitive and creative way of addressing elderly concerns. In Year 1, the thematic focus will be on anti-Asian hate crimes happening in the Filipino American community. This situation is the result of anxiety among the public, perpetuated by members of the media and some politicians, whose xenophobic references to the cause of Covid-19 stirred anti-Asian sentiments. The situation has escalated to hate crimes and violence against the Asian-American community, particularly elderly Filipino Americans. This project seeks to empower the Filipino American elderly population, address the collective trauma they experienced due to the pandemic and its anti-Asian aftermath, and build up awareness and support among the younger generations towards an intergenerational effort to end anti-Asian injustices. Moreover, this project is providing the space for building natural social connections through programs and activities happening under one roof, a place the elderly can call their home away from home.
