In August 2016, eight Cambodian Americans from Minnesota were detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Their families rallied around them, using community organizing as a tool to fight back. It sparked a movement that would reach national attention. 

Today, MN8 is a network of primarily Asian American grassroots organizers, who have been directly impacted by unjust immigration policies. We believe those who are most impacted must have power, voice, and resources for change to happen.

MN8's mission is to keep Southeast Asian communities together through direct support, advocacy, community organizing, and leadership development for social and systemic change. Our vision is to build a world that provides individuals and families with the support and opportunities they need to thrive from generation to generation.
