We aim to fight the deportations of Southeast Asian refugees through the combined strategies of local and state advocacy, legal support, and community organizing and education.

―

By highlighting the unique experience of the Southeast Asian refugee community, ensuring access to critical legal resources, and mobilizing the community, the Southeast Asian Defense Project provides a comprehensive approach towards keeping Southeast Asian families united.

What we do:

1.

Local and state advocacy - advocate for policies that will end the deportations of Southeast Asian refugees through coalition-based partnerships. This includes a campaign to secure pardons for refugees facing deportations.

2.

Legal support - coordinate and provide critical legal and other support for refugees and their families, including case management.

3.

Community organizing and education - conduct community outreach, know your rights trainings, and other actions where the community can mobilize and use their voices to fight deportations.
