PIVOT - Progressive Vietnamese American Organization

PIVOT –– the Progressive Vietnamese American Organization –– was formed to be a collective voice for progressive Vietnamese Americans throughout the United States who seek a just and diverse America. In 2017, PIVOT was established in direct response to a political landscape and physical environment that threatened the human rights and safety of many Americans, particularly disenfranchised populations (e.g., low-income, immigrants and refugees, people of color, LGBTQ populations, and women). Key to these efforts is our ability to advocate for policies that align with our values regarding:  1) Promoting human, civil, immigrant, and refugee rights; 2) Increasing cultural, linguistic, and financial access to quality education, health care, and economic opportunities; and 3) Protecting the environment.
