Support SEARAC and Lift Up Our Southeast Asian American Communities

As a member of SEARAC's Board of Directors, I am immensely proud to support an organization that is building community power and equity for Southeast Asian Americans.

Help support SEARAC's 2023 end-of-year fundraising campaign and consider contributing during this season of giving!

This year, we are raising $30,000 to support SEARAC's groundbreaking policy advocacy and leadership training programming. As we reflect on 2023, we are so proud of the work that we've done to uplift the education, health, and immigration needs of Southeast Asian Americans, including diverse communities from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.

Highlights from the past year include:

• Launching our new 2023-24 Equity Agenda, which highlights the needs of Southeast Asian American communities, based on interviews with more than 30 community-based organizations across the country
• Returning to in-person programming for the first time since 2019, including our flagship Leadership and Advocacy Training Program in Washington, DC
• Releasing our new report on Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander, and Southeast Asian American youth mental health, "Voices Unheard: Uncovering the Mental Health Impact of COVID-19 on Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander and Southeast Asian American Youth"
• Advocating for disaggregated race and ethnicity data that allows Southeast Asian American identities to be fully seen
• Launching a brand new website for our work with the SEAA Collaborative in California
• Reintroducing the Southeast Asian Deportation Relief Act (SEADRA) into Congress, a groundbreaking bill that protects our communities' right to family

Help us keep building this movement. Make a gift to SEARAC's end-of-year fundraiser today!

SEARAC is a national civil rights organization that builds power with diverse communities from Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam to create a socially just and equitable society. As representatives of the largest refugee community ever resettled in the United States, SEARAC stands together with other refugee communities, communities of color, and social justice movements in pursuit of social equity.
