"Today marks a day in history where so many of us, children of the Vietnamese diaspora, became children of refugees. We have gone on to become creators, entrepreneurs, healers, and working folks that contribute to the fabric of America. We carry with us the resilience of refugees as well as the audacity to push for progress. Today and everyday we continue our work in advocacy, education, and organizing for them--to lead the next generation of leaders and fortify our communities with our stories."
- Jacqueline Thanh, Executive Director of VAYLA
The work we do is pivotal in building solidarity between refugees and immigrants, those who escaped by boats and those who traveled by planes. Our multicultural, multi-generational and intersectional work serves to build those bridges and mend the pain inflicted on us and caused by us.
We honor our ancestors today and every day. Thank you for supporting our work.
