The conference will convene 500 community members across the state of Washington to address the impacts and reconciliation efforts of Cambodian American’s experiences during the Khmer Rouge Genocide that took place from April 17th, 1975 – January 7th, 1979, in which approximately 2 million lives were lost and an enormous number of refugees resettled globally. The number of refugees alone, from Southeast Asian countries during the 1970s – 1980s is the largest refugee resettlement in American history, climbing up to 1 million. Washington State is a refugee/immigrant state and received the third largest Cambodian refugee resettlement in Seattle/King County. A coordinating committee of Cambodian community leadership across the state of Washington formed an organizational body consisting of inter-generational collaborations and gender inclusive leadership consensus building for the purpose of bridging history, culture and remembrance. This first of it’s kind statewide Cambodian American collaboration brings together more than 16+ Cambodian organizations to address issues related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Human Suffering, Community Building and Identity Formation. Representative Rady Mom from Massachussets will be joining us for this historical event. Rep. Mom is the first Cambodian elected into office in the United States. http://www.lowellsun.com/todaysheadlines/ci_26869561/rady-mom-makes-history-becoming-first-cambodian-legislator <http://app.mtaflash.com/click?id=NjNhY2JiOGEtMTE2My00ODE3LWI5NDUtMmJhNWZlODAyZTUy&u=miAM69jj9WIvMqqBw8wqlOSKy8%2FbiQ8Diheh5ONMnphX4p8nRwr5EF6aAeOvCvTKFjOAJR2H1M6HQciuTaRpPAvgqozEhSkLWubc7x0Q6Ntl%2F1bKULvuHnkMgxH58waTQkTPHSZKqI3YfYNTYT030w%3D%3DT> Your presence to help us remember the two million Cambodian brothers and sisters that have lost their lives during the Killing Fields will be very much appreciated.
