Support Southeast Asian American communities

As some of you already know, I am proud to serve on the board of Southeast Asia Resource Action Center, also known as SEARAC. As part of its mission, SEARAC advocates on behalf of Cambodian, Laotian, and Vietnamese American communities, and stands in solidarity with other refugees, immigrants, and communities of color, to work toward a just and equitable society for all.

Southeast Asian American communities were hit hard this past year. Along with other low-income communities, SEAAs felt the brunt of the COVID-19 pandemic, which exacerbated already existing disparities. For many, this 45th year of the SEAA journey was about survival. It was about making sure that our loved ones were as safe as possible as they worked to make sure there was food on the table, that our children were continuing their education despite technological and language barriers, that our elders were given culturally appropriate health care—and that we were there to make it happen in the absence of support at the local, state, or federal levels.

I invite you to join me in supporting SEARAC's work by making a donation today. With your generous contribution, SEARAC can amplify Southeast Asian American stories, the unique refugee experience that is woven into the tapestry of our beautifully diverse America.

Through your support, you can help fight for our right to keep our families united, our right to be seen through data, and our right to heal through culturally appropriate health and mental health care.

Through your support, you can help build community power with SEARAC's partners on the ground to ensure that those impacted are centered in our work.

Through your support, you can help connect and activate the next generation of passionate advocates, who will grow, carry, and lead our movement in the years ahead.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
