2026-05-08 19:00 - 20:30 | Third Place Books – Ravenna, 6504 20th Ave NE, Seattle, WA, 98115, United States
This probing account shines a new light on the problem of anti-Asian violence and inspires us to build lasting solidarity.
Third Place Books welcomes scholar, writer, and community activist Scott Kurashige for a conversation about his new book American Peril: The Violent History of Anti-Asian Racism. Connecting domestic and global events that have been erased from the official record, American Peril exposes the history of anti-Asian violence while also tracing the rise of Asian American community protest and activism. University of Washington professors Karam Dana and Linh Thủy Nguyễn join in conversation.
This event is free and open to the public. For important updates, RSVP is highly recommended in advance. This event will include a public signing and time for audience Q&A. Sustain our author series by purchasing a copy of the featured book!

International Hummus Day
2026-05-13 | WA
and a good day to take boycott action against Sabra Hummus.
Here is a fact sheet about Sabra: Factsheet – Sabra
If you see it sold in a cafe, in. at your work snack station, get a contact for who makes those decisions and write them a letter explaining why you do not feel it’s an appropriate product to have available:
Download this letter that you can edit and send: Send a letter to Sabra retailers

Supposedly these are good alternatives:

Cedar’s Hommus (Original): Ranked frequently as the top competitor for its silky-smooth, creamy texture and similar flavor profile.
Boar’s Head Traditional Hummus: A top-tier option that offers that same creamy, thick, and consistent texture, often described as highly satisfying.
Ithaca Hummus (Lemon Garlic) :An excellent choice for a strong, tangy, and garlic-forward profile, similar to the punchy flavor of Sabra.

But honestly, you should just make it from scratch!
