This past summer, Sông2Sea held a public study series for the Vietnamese diaspora and organizers, focusing on revolutionary history leading to the Vietnamese August Revolution of 1945.

We share a few main points, highlights, questions, and reflections from our study together, which help us use history to contextualize our families’ stories and draw lessons for our organizing.

Please note that these shareouts offer a peek into some of the topics we discussed and are not meant to be comprehensive recaps of our readings or presentations. We hope they pique your interest in learning more! If we have missed something, or you find something unclear or inaccurate, please let us know.

This first shareout looks at colonial Việt Nam and the rise of revolutionary consciousness in the 1920s.
We read from the following books and article:
📖 Before the Revolution: The Vietnamese Peasants Under the French, by Ngo Vinh Long
📖 Radicalism and the Origins of the Vietnamese Revolution by Hue-Tam Ho Tai
📖 Vietnamese Anticolonialism, 1885-1925 by David G. Marr
📖 The Path Which Led Me to Leninism by Ho Chi Minh

Sông2Sea creates space and material to learn and engage with Vietnamese political history. You can support our work on Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/supportsong2sea

Thank you all for supporting our Sông2Sea 2026 Year of the Horse merch fundraiser and helping us raise $3,043. After 26 years of incarceration and hardship, Tuan is finally free in Vietnam! Your donations will support Tuan’s resettlement and reunification with his family.

Unfortunately, Tuan’s story is not an exceptional one, but one of many that make up the violent history of US immigration policy. The US military destabilizes foreign countries, bringing in migrants to be exploited as cheap labor, while ICE acts as a domestic arm of US imperialism, expelling them once they’re no longer deemed useful.

We encourage you to continue donating to support Tuan and his family with resettlement during this time of transition!

We also invite you to check out our zine on Deportation, Migration, and Imperialism that emphasizes the importance of learning history and incorporating these lessons in our fight for a better world. Our zine is available for download at song2sea.com/zines.

📣LIMITED TIME ONLY! We are extending the deadline for orders and we need your support. So far, we’ve raised over $1000 to the Bring Tuan Home campaign! Due to popular demand, we’ve extended our fundraiser to the end of this weekend on Sunday May 31, 2026 at 11:59 PM PST. Don’t miss out on your last chance to get our limited edition Year of the Fire Horse long-sleeve shirt and stickers!

About the “Bring Tuan Home” campaign: Almost a year ago, ICE deported Tuan, a Vietnamese refugee and Washington resident, to South Sudan. A federal judge ruled the deportation illegal, but Tuan is still there. Please support us in meeting Tuan’s essential needs while detained and securing his safe return to Vietnam.

Suggested Donation-

Long-sleeve shirts: $40.
For students and organizers, $35.

Sông2Sea is thrilled to announce our Year of the Fire Horse merch fundraiser! 🐎

We are featuring illustrations from our popular Year of the Horse calendar on a limited-edition long-sleeve shirt and three vinyl sticker designs. The fundraiser ends Tuesday May 26, 2026 at 11:59 PM.

Our merch uses the following sayings that reflects the Fire Horse’s qualities:
🔸“Ngựa hay không sợ đường dài” or “A capable horse is not afraid of the long road.”
🔸“Một con ngựa đau, cả tàu bỏ cỏ” or “When one horse is sick, the entire herd stops eating.”
🔸“Kiên trì” or “perseverance.”

These sayings remind us that we need perseverance, resilience, and unity to reach a just and equitable world.

📝A portion of proceeds from this fundraiser will go toward the “Bring Tuan Home” campaign. Almost a year ago, ICE deported Tuan, a Vietnamese refugee and Washington resident, to South Sudan. A federal judge ruled the deportation illegal, but Tuan is still there. Please support us in meeting Tuan’s essential needs while detained and securing his safe return to Vietnam.

🧧Suggested Donation:
Long-sleeve shirts: $40. For students and organizers, $35.
Vinyl stickers: $5 each. $12 bundle for all three.

We would really appreciate your support!💝

We’ve just come back from our pilgrimage to Vietnam, where we spent the past two weeks deepening our political and cultural education. We learned about and visited sites connected to Vietnam’s long struggle for national liberation, independence, and reunification. At the start of our trip, we asked some members to share what they were excited to learn and experience during our time there. Here’s what they had to say!

Stay tuned for our shareback from the trip 🇻🇳
