Building bridges across differences creating space for tough conversations VTM was founded in response to challenges exacerbated by cultural trauma and conflicts within Vietnamese communities. Our strategy is embedded in our organizations name TRAINING community members to understand and confront collective issues providing spaces that facilitate individual and collective ACTION and activating community organizers and leaders to engage the domestic and global MOVEMENT for social justice. Who we are VTM is a group of Vietnamese artists scholars activists and professionals. We came together after noticing a lack of knowledge training and dialogue in our communities that hindered our ability to support one another.
