Empowering Marginalized Asian Communities' (EMAC) mission is to serve and support marginalized Southeast Asians by empowering our communities through advocacy and healing from our present and past disparities to build an equitable and robust future.
Program Overview
The Southeast Asian Youth Power (SEAYP) leadership program aims to foster leadership, critical thinking, political advocacy, and civic engagement in young Southeast Asian leaders in Stockton through learning about and mobilizing around issues of social justice. EMAC strongly believes that young people have the power to positively impact their communities if presented with the opportunity to do so. Participants of the program will have the opportunity to engage in dialogue on identity, history, culture, and life experiences with other young people. The program also focuses on anti-deportation activism, re-entry and community safety, and local organizing in Stockton.
