Hamkae Center

Hamkae Center We organize Asian Americans in Virginia to achieve social, racial and economic justice.

Hamkae Center develops holistic programs and campaigns that are guided by community members and meet immediate needs, while building Asian American community power to make long-term systemic changes that address the root causes of these needs and centers human connections. We believe that Asian Americans, low-income folks, working class people, immigrants, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, and other targeted people must work together in order to have a more just and equitable Virginia for all.

We are inviting you to submit to “Our Stories, Our Futures,” a community zine by and for Asian Americans in Virginia.
 
Our stories matter more than ever, as our communities face growing threats to reproductive rights, immigration protections, and the ability to live and care for one another with dignity. A constitutional amendment protecting reproductive rights in Virginia will be voted on by community members this November, and Asian American communities have a real stake in this decision.
 
This reproductive justice zine uplifts stories, perspectives, art, and historical knowledge from our communities to explore why reproductive justice matters deeply to us.
 
Through personal storytelling, artwork, infographics, and political education, the zine will highlight how reproductive justice intersects with the issues shaping our lives: including immigration, healthcare access, language justice, affordability, and the right to build and care for our families.
 
Created by our community and for our community, the zine will also include accessible information about the amendment: what it means, why it matters, and what is at stake for our communities.
 
Our goal is to build political understanding, start intergenerational conversations, and support Asian Americans in Virginia in seeing ourselves as stakeholders in the fight for reproductive justice. 
 
💭 We’re welcoming a variety of submissions, including:
📝 Writing — stories, poems, reflections, essays
🎨 Art — drawings, collages, comics, photography
👥 Educational — explainers, infographics, historical, political, or legal perspectives  
 
No experience needed. Submissions welcome in any language.
 
🗓 Deadline: April 19
