Even in the US, despite progress over the past decade for the LGBTQ+ community, current attitudes and a range of anti-trans legislation being currently considered in numerous states continue to threaten the lives and dignity of trans individuals throughout the country.

[AQUA_DC @aquadc1997]

AQUA DC would like to wish all our members, friends and allies a Happy Pride month. Thank you for helping us create a safe and supportive community for queer and trans API folx in the DMV area.

[AQUA_DC @aquadc1997]

As we enter a month of celebration, it is also extremely important to note that the global fight for recognition of LGBTQ+ rights is still ongoing and many queer and trans folx in Asia and other parts of the world still face persecution and discrimination.

[KhushDC🌈 @KhushDC]

For our Pride celebration this year, we are partnering with the QTAPI community for a very special event featuring South Asian/Filipino dance styles of Bhangra and Tinikling!! We're also very excited to bring you West Coast Swing lessons.

There are over 4 million family members abroad stuck in the visa backlog, and we expect Congress to act before the midterm elections. Congress MUST recapture unused visas and increase processing funding! @ValueFamilies

As the survivors and their descendents of wars in Southeast Asia, Southeast Asian Americans know all too well the lasting impacts that wars have on individuals, families, and communities.
