我們與有色人種社區團結一致,創造更公正、更公平的地方。我們的文化價值觀和認知方式並非完全遍及於所有的AAPI社區中,因而在東南亞難民社區,或夏威夷原住民社區,或存在已久的日裔美國人和華裔美國人社區中,我們的創意地方營造工作看起來截然不同。我們讚揚自己獨特卻又緊密聯繫的社區。
“Here [at Bhanchha Ghar], I hold meetings for my societies… I invite them here, we eat here, we sit here, we discuss here…People who don’t have jobs, I get them a job. People who don’t have a place to sleep, I find them a place.”
