As part of Richmond LAND’s Building Power Fellowship Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN) community leaders, Brandy Khansouvong and Sary Tatpaporn are sharing their community’s stories of home – stories of Laos before the devastation of war, people’s experiences of war and refugee camps, and how folks found each other and made a home together in Richmond, California.
Now, as Laotian Americans in Richmond face a housing crisis, they’re fighting to stay and finding solutions that keep their communities together.
