FYLPRO, Tayo and AFIRE Chicago are partnering to present a 2-part series exploring how we receive and share information.
We each hold multiple, complex perspectives of the world, influenced by numerous kinds of information that are more accessible to us than ever before. What types of information do we pay attention to and share with one another? Where did it come from? What do we do with it? How do our lived experiences shape how we understand the information we send and receive?
These events are part of a research study with Dr. Rachel Kuo of the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Part 1 is on March 15 and Part 2 is on April 12.
Join us to connect with our communities and be part of the conversation.

Everyone has rights. Knowing your rights is crucial. Here’s a quick guide if you are questioned about your immigration status:
If ICE comes to your door, ASK FOR A WARRANT SIGNED BY A JUDGE.
If you are confronted by an ICE agent, remain silent.
DO NOT say anything about where you were born or how you entered the U.S.
Have a PLAN OF ACTION if a loved one is DETAINED
Tell an immigration service official that you want a hearing closer to where you live.

The COVID-19 pandemic has left a lasting impact around the world. Tayo is collecting stories and reflections as we head into the 5th anniversary of the pandemic.
Share your reflections and stories as we remember and honor our frontliners, those we lost and the moments that changed our lives forever:
FYLPRO's Tayo is a community partner of the CARE Project - Collaborative Approach For Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians & Pacific Islanders Research & Education.
The purpose of CARE is to address the gap and reduce disparities in research participation among Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) through the creation of a research registry of AANHPI who are interested in participating in various types of research. The theme of the CARE registry is “health across the lifespan.” Some examples of potential research studies that CARE registry participants may get contacted about include but are not limited to: the prevention, intervention, and treatment of cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias; other aging-related health concerns including health issues and risk and protective factors that begin in early to mid-life; and, the health and wellness of caregivers.
To be eligible to enroll in CARE, you must be:1) An Asian, Asian American and/or Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander,
2) An adult (18 years old or older),
3) Able to read and speak in English, Chinese, Hawaiian, Hindi, Ilokano, Japanese, Korean, Samoan, Tagalog, or Vietnamese,
4) Reside in the United States (U.S.) or US Associated Pacific Islands (USAPI), and
5) Willing to be contacted to participate in health research.
If you are interested in enrolling: https://redcap.ucsf.edu/surveys/?s=XCFFJ9XKLPWEPTDH&adsource=fylpro
There is an option to take the survey in Tagalog. Please indicate you heard about this project through FYLPRO/Tayo.
