Nghiep “Ke” Lam might have just celebrated his last Lunar New Year with his family – along with three other staff members of @asianprisonersc, Peejay, Bun, and Maria – the #APSC4 members.
In a collaboration between 18 Million Rising’s @brendachiart and APSC’s Ke, we highlight Ke’s story about learning how to show affection to his dad and breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma. APSC4 members have escaped the violence and poverty from the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam. They have dealt with trauma in the U.S. by falling into a cycle of more violence – resulting in their incarceration. But they’ve also transformed their lives inside. They earned their release.
We must end cycles of violence! APSC4 members’ lives are in limbo; they could be separated from their families any day. Tell Governor Newsom to keep families together and pardon #APSC4: https://bit.ly/pardonAPSC4
