To help support the Elimin8hate campaign, we welcome our newest team member serving as our Community Engagement Director is Carmel Tanaka. Tanaka (she/her) is no stranger to combatting racism and hatred through her tireless community bridge-building, cross-cultural and intersectional work. Promoting inclusion, diversity and social justice are her jam. We are honoured to have Tanaka join the VAFF team. 

As a queer Jewish Asian woman stoked to join @VAFFVancouver and @proj1907 - both of which are led and organized by rad Asian women - on the @Elimin8Hate campaign, Tanaka encourages anyone who has been a target of COVID-19-related racist and hateful attacks to step forward and file a report here
