We’re grateful to pave ways to grow social empowerment ecosystems through cultural organizing, critical language, and just storytelling. SEAD’s commitment to the Southeast Asian diaspora still remains our core focus and in that spirit, we’re offering ways to pivot towards more innovative ways to do healing-centered and strategy-based storytelling.

SEARC | Solidarity Resource Hub Inspired by the important work Southeast Asian American, Asian American, and Pacific Islander leaders are spearheading to move our communities in support of Black leadership, we are proud to launch a Solidarity Resource Hub that highlights their impactful work and ways we can all get involved. “As a national civil rights organization, SEARAC stands together with the Black community in pursuit of social equity,” said Quyen Dinh, executive director of SEARAC. “Our own paths to equity are only possible through the historic civil rights forged by Black struggle and leaders, and it is with deep gratitude that many of our SEAA leaders and young people are following in the leadership of Black leaders, continuing the important legacy of fighting for a socially, politically, and economically just society where all our communities can thrive.” Included in this hub are difficult conversations that SEAA and AAPI leaders are holding across the country to address anti-Blackness in our communities and educate about structural racism. There are also anti-racism toolkits, trainings, and protest and advocacy tips to connect our community with solidarity support resources and in-language materials.

SEAD | SEA Solidarity Resource Hub It’s time to get comfortable with discomfort. A time to uplift Black voices. Time to physically rebuild and internally reconstruct mindsets. With the death of George Floyd as a result of unjust police brutality and the destruction of Minneapolis at the hands of white suprematists, SEAD will continue to center Justice for George Floyd. We understand conversations and activism are difficult to navigate at first. We’re here to help guide you through those moments. We will provide helpful resources to discuss anti-Black racism within your circles.
