"cùng nhau" is the Vietnamese word for together. In a time of heightened violence for Asian American individuals, it is imperative that we come together as a community to learn about Asian American history and speak out against Asian American racism.

This website provides resources for educating and uplifting the North Carolina Asian American community, after ongoing targeted violence and Asian American racism throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

With a particular focus on North Carolina folks, we wanted to provide an accessible website with useful information and direct action that focuses on solidarity and love towards our communities.

cúng nhau is a DiamondHacks NCSU (hackathon) project made by four women of color: Minh-Thu Dinh, Namrata Rajaraman, Cynthia Rios, and Chitra Srinivasan. We hope you utilize the resources and enjoy the website!
