Happy Hmong Day!

Today, we honor the resilience, survival, culture, and leadership of Hmong people.

Hmong communities continue to face violence through deportations that tear families apart and deny our people safety and dignity. Honoring Hmong people means fighting for our communities and organizing for a future where our families can stay together and thrive.

That is why we are calling on our community to support the Southeast Asian Deportation Relief Act (SEADRA).

SEADRA would:
• End deportations for many Southeast Asian refugees
• Restore due process protections
• Keep families together
• Create pathways for stability and dignity

Our people deserve care, safety, and the right to stay home.

This May Day, we stood with the May Day Strong Coalition representing working class, immigrant, refugee, Black and Southeast Asian communities. We showed up with our elders and youth to be clear about the future we are fighting for.

We know that protecting our communities means fighting to abolish systems of harm. No ICE. No police. No cages. No war. Our communities deserve housing, healthcare, education, food, safety, dignity, and care.

From our Hmong elders holding banners, to youth leading chants and marches, to community members building connections across movements, these photos are a reminder that our power has always come from each other.

The work did not end on May Day. The work to protect and build commnity power continues every single day.

Join us in organizing for true community control and collective liberation. We do not need more punishment and surviellance. We need investment in care, healing, and our people.

Our community is our campaign!

We want community power and control over the police!

The Police Civilian Oversight Board (PCOB) exists so community members can report and investigate police abuse and misconduct independent of MPD. But instead of strengthening it, the City of Madison is trying to weaken it and limit its ability to hold police accountable.

Join us to learn more about the fight for community control, the organizing that made the PCOB possible, and what the current attacks on the board mean for our communities!
