Celebrate Khmer New Year with APSC4!

April 16, 2024 • By 18MR Staff

In honor of Cambodian New Year, 18MR collaborated with Asian Prisoner Support Committee and artist Tevy Khou to release a new “Keeping Community Together” illustration featuring Peejay and Bun, two Cambodian members of APSC4.

“I drew my favorite Khmer food – foods I love to eat during new years and in the summertime. It’s like one big family reunion except with way more cousins you don’t remember. There’s corn with coconut sauce and chives, and papaya salad with meat on a stick – which are staples in any Cambodian bbq” – Tevy Khou

As people gather with good food and love to celebrate Cambodian new year, this year may be the last for Peejay and Bun. Despite their service, commitment to community, and successful reentry, the members of APSC4 (Peejay, Bun, Ke & Maria) all live in an immigration limbo. They face the threat of deportation within a immigration system, punitively designed to target immigrants and refugees.

    Freedom to Stay Move Resist

    The reality is stark: since Trump’s return to office, the federal administration has accelerated an era of fascist violence against immigrant, refugee, and working class communities. We are facing daily attacks on our people, from increased ICE raids to expanded travel bans to the rapid militarization and surveillance of our communities, homes, and workplaces. This […]
