Strong Threads: Stories of Justice from the Laotian Organizing Project
"Strong Threads", a short film about the Laotian Organizing Project is now on the web! You can find it here.
The Laotian community in Contra Costa County, CA lives in one of the most toxic regions in the nation. Surrounded by more then 350 industrial sites and toxic hazards, their home, school, and work environments are exposed to dangerous levels of lead, pesticides, and other chemicals on a daily basis.
Through stories with leaders from the Laotian Organizing Project, this tells the story of one way that the Laotian community has come together to transform the community into a place that is safe and healthy to live, work and play.

Woo!! Great Video footage. Let people get to know LOP stories.
Come to think about it, there are more footages that we can put on the Web!

This is a wonderful video that captures the vision and deep organizing of the Laotian community in Richmond. I use this video in class to illustrate EJ in the Asian community and how young Laotian women have fought back and won important EJ campaigns for their community.
