“Today I am fighting for a real, authentic, and inclusive Land of the Free. With my entire heart and soul, I believe this country needs to provide true justice and support to all marginalized communities. Our laws and policies must reflect our values as a country.”

SEAAs and other immigrant and refugee communities want a fair chance to thrive, but we cannot do so while we are subject to a dehumanizing, unjust immigration system.

Protect family immigration

In the aftermath of war and genocide in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, many SEAAs were separated in their escape to safety. Our immigration system must ensure the timely and humane reunification fo families.
