APIC is sharing a fun opportunity to participate this summer! 💚💛

“ June 10th Mental Health and Wellness Jam
Join OACC and PEERS for an AAPI Mental Health and Wellness Jam, where we will embrace the warmth of our community and celebrate Asian joy. We hope to create a space where Asian American and Pacific Islander communities can access tools and resources to address the needs of the whole person, and have many options for how they want to practice mental wellness.

We will cultivate a space of joy through local performers, and engage in wellness practices through free workshops that allow us to move our bodies and express our creativity.
Stay tuned for updates about performers, workshops, and other activities for the day! Registration is free and required for entry.”

Fall of Phnom Penh

Today marks the 47th anniversary of the Cambodian Genocide.

On this day, the Khmer Rouge entered the capital of Cambodia, Phnom Penh. People tried to escape but it was too late as they were stationed at major crossroads in all directions. That same day, the Khmer Rouge executed people who refused their orders.

The Khmer Rouge consisted of members of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, led by Pol Pot, a totalitarian dictator.
This was the start of the Cambodian Genocide, which killed an estimate of 2.5 million of the population. The Khmer Rouge executed former urban dwellers, professionals, and intellectuals which included almost everyone with an education and people who understood a foreign language. Many artists, including musicians, writers, and filmmakers were executed along with ethnic minority groups and those who practiced a religion.

We will never forget. We will not forget.
