Last week, SEARAC convened executive leaders of Southeast Asian American-serving organizations from all across the United States. Over two days, we discussed key issues impacting our local communities and identified opportunities to build our collective power during this 50th year of resettlement — and the next 50 years to come. Thank you to these incredible changemakers for sharing space with us in DC, and special gratitude to @aarp, @rwjfoundation, and Surdna Foundation for participating in our programming.
