Political Education Workshop I: Southeast Asian Deportation History

Join us for part 1 of our political education workshops for AARW's Month of Action Against Southeast Asian Deportations! All are welcome! We will be learning about Southeast Asian deportation history and the ultimate failure of refugee resettlement.

Southeast Asian refugees represent the largest refugee community ever to be resettled in the United States, after being forcefully displaced by U.S. war and its aftermath in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam in the 1970s. Come to this teach-in to learn more about the history of Southeast Asian refugee resettlement. We will speak to events leading up to, during, and following resettlement that laid the foundation to the current deportation crisis. This workshop will ground folks in the history and experiences of the Southeast Asian community which inform our organizing strategies against deportations.

Register for the workshop here and we will follow up with the Zoom call link: tinyurl.com/SEADPolEd1. You can find the Facebook event here.

In addition to this workshop, more actions and ways to join our events will be announced, so stay tuned!
