Both Sera and I still have family in Laos — family that farm rice, little cousins that walk to school, and elders that still carry the weight of war. This work is deeply personal to us because of that but also because of you.
Our work is unique as we center survivor-led advocacy, preserve shared history once kept secret from Americans, and build a more peaceful future with our Advocacy Ambassadors.
This September, nations from across the world gather in Vientiane, Laos, the most bombed country per capita in history, for the The Third Review Conference (3RC) of the Convention on Cluster Munitions. We will be there, as we were when Laos hosted the first Meeting of States Parties in 2010. But this time, we’re bringing something new.
An exhibit. A framework built from twenty years of movement-building, grounded in History, Healing, and Hope, that any community living with the lasting impacts of war can adapt and call their own.
The Chino Cienega Foundation is matching every gift dollar for dollar, up to $5,000. That means the next dollar you give becomes two. Every contribution brings us closer to our $10,000 goal and closer to Vientiane.
Your gift helps to fund the trip, the exhibit, and the programs that made this moment possible: the Legacies Library, The Originals, and the Advocacy Ambassadors carrying this work into the future.
We built this together. Help us share it with the world! Double your donation today —> https://voices.funraise.org/
Susu, keep fighting,
