[ABOUT VIET ADVOCACY WEEK]

REFRAME. ENGAGE. ADVOCATE.

UNAVSA is excited to announce the return of our long-awaited Vietnamese Advocacy Week from September 20th to September 24!

Over the course of the year, we have seen constituents engage with advocacy in new ways, ongoing discussions and political education, and grapple with intense social and political events around the world. We know that there is still always work to be done and that our constituents will join that call to action. Advocacy Month will cover a range of issues—ranging from anti-violence and abolition to combating disinformation and healing ourselves—that affect Vietnamese communities in the United States, Canada, and abroad. There will be webinars, infographics, and resources released throughout the week.
