Tam) at the Supreme Court of the United States in 2017. His memoir\, Slanted: How an Asian American Troublemaker Took on the Supreme Court\, was named One of the Best Books on the Constitution of All Time by BookAuthority and won an award for Best Autobiography/Memoir from the Independent Publisher Book Awards. \nThe New York Times\, The Washington Post\, Rolling Stone\, NPR\, and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah have featured Tam’s work in arts and activism. He is the founder and bassist of The Slants\, one of the first all-Asian American dance rock bands in the world. Tam also co-founded The Slants Foundation\, a nonprofit pushing the boundaries of what is possible for arts\, activism\, and civic engagement. \nKeynoting thousands of events across four continents\, he holds a world record for TEDx stage appearances and coaches numerous TED presenters. Tam regularly consults world leaders and major organizations on policies related to equity\, diversity\, and inclusion. In 2016\, he joined President Barack Obama\, George Takei\, Jeremy Lin\, and other celebrities in the #ActToChange campaign to fight bullying. Tam has worked with Jay Z\, Killer Mike\, and Chance the Rapper on legislative efforts to protect artistic expression. \nTam believes that apathy is not compatible with love.

He works to change the culture by transforming systems with an equity framework\, all while holding down harmony and rhythm on the bass guitar. \nSimon’s work is currently on display at the Sound Check Exhibit in Seattle’s Wing Luke Museum through September 2024. \nThis event will be a potluck.
