SEARAC Moving Mountains Equity Summit, Oct. 12-14

SEARAC recently announced:

Scholarship applications are open for SEARAC's inaugural national equity summit, Moving Mountains! To ensure representation across regions, organizations, and generations, SEARAC will be providing a limited number of scholarships to community members who need financial support to attend and who exemplify the spirit and mission of the equity summit.  

"Moving Mountains will bring together 100 of the best and brightest strategic thinkers, trailblazers, and community leaders from diverse Cambodian, Hmong, Iu Mien, Lao, and Vietnamese American communities across the country." The summit will be held in Washington, DC, October 12-14. Apply today, and email alyssa@searac.org with any questions.

While I haven't seen a concrete list of the speakers involved, they are offering to bring together "100 of the best and brightest strategic thinkers, trailblazers, and community leaders from diverse Cambodian, Hmong, Iu Mien, Lao, and Vietnamese American communities across the country."

I'm not certain how they're doing outreach to bring in the Akha, Lue, Khmu, Tai Dam, Montagnard, Karen, and other SEA stakeholders in the US, but it could be something to keep an eye on, especially as the time draws near for Census 2020.
