Thank you @officialcapac for hosting this event to highlight the devastating impacts of unjust detention and deportation on our communities. Quyen Đình, Executive Director of the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC), shared, “Southeast Asian American communities have been dealing with ICE violence for decades, with more than 15,000 people living under deportation orders to Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam.

We call on Congress to keep families together and pass SEADRA. Take action at bit.ly/SEADRA2026.

As a proud member of the Diverse Elders Coalition, SEARAC is thrilled to announce that our coalition`s Caring for Those Who Care curriculum is now hosted on the SAGECare platform. The platform gives healthcare, social service, and aging professional practical tools to better support diverse family caregivers and older adults.

This updated curriculum builds on the DEC’s 2019 national caregiving research with more than 1000 caregivers across six diverse communities and is strengthened by updated evidence from the DEC’s 2025 literature review. Together, with SAGECare, this research base connects lived experience to actionable best practices providers can use in real care settings.

The curriculum centers caregivers from: African American and Black; American Indian and Alaska Native; Chinese American and Korean American; Hispanic/Latino; LGBTQ+; and Southeast Asian American communities, with expanded content that reflects the realities of LGBTQ+ caregivers of color and the direct care workforce.
