About this Event

The Vietnamese American Roundtable will be hosting the second-ever Vietnamese American Community Empowerment Symposium on Saturday, October 25th, 2025 from 10:00am to 3:30pm at Yerba Buena High School Student Union. Also known as "The Roundtable," this conversational event is meant to bring together community members, leaders, and organizations to foster dialogue, build connections, and strengthen empowerment within the Vietnamese American Community in Silicon Valley.

For the Vietnamese American community in Santa Clara County, a population of over 120,000, which constitutes the second largest population of Vietnamese people in diaspora in the world, generational political and ideological divisions have been exacerbated by rampant proliferation of misinformation and disinformation.

In the face of adversity and inequality, it is us who have been at the forefront of addressing issues of health and racial equity, political and historical representation, and intergenerational healing. The goal of this Symposium is to convene and foster space for community members, organizers, and organizations to continue to 1) recognize the issues impacting our families, 2) reflect upon and learn from our shared experiences, and 3) strategize ways to take action towards empowering ourselves and our communities.
