Description

RSVP to get free tickets to watch Marvel's Shangchi Shang-Chi is the first-ever Marvel film starring Asian heroes, made by Asian filmmakers and celebrating Asian culture. It is an exciting moment for the Asian community, and moreover, it's hugely important that Asian children be given the chance to watch this film. Chicago Asian Network is joining the #ShangChi Challenge on GoFundMe along with our friends at Gold House for #GOLDOPEN to help send AAPI Youth in Chicago to go see the movie. We have partnered with Project Vision and Chinese Mutual Aid to help distribute tickets for this event Our goal was to send 80 AAPI youth + chaperones from various AAPI youth organizations in Chicago. Thanks to donations from people across the country and from Goldhouse we have tickets for over 200 AAPI Youth + chaperones to watch this monumental movie! Every child deserves to feel seen. They deserve to see themselves represented on screen as strong, worthy, and as the superheroes that they are! Proper representation of different cultures is critically important for all children so that they understand that people of all colors and backgrounds are to be embraced and valued. The release of a blockbuster film like Marvel Studios' Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has the opportunity to make a powerful impact on the way that Asian children see themselves.
