Dear Dan,

I am writing on behalf of UNAVSA and its regional and collegiate partners across North America to seek your participation in a nationwide campaign to call for the release of all detained and imprisoned human rights champions in Vietnam.



UNAVSA was founded on a simple idea that if we work together we can accomplish leaps and bounds more than if we worked apart. I present to you a campaign spearheaded by the Saigon Broadcast Television Network (SBTN), allowing the entire Vietnamese community to come together for a common cause.



The Obama Administration recently launched a tool called “We the People” giving our community the unique opportunity to petition for the Administration to take action on this pressing matter. If we successfully collect 25,000 petitioners in 30 days, the President will address our petition.



This is our chance as Vietnamese youth to join hands across generations to demonstrate the strength and solidarity of our community. The petition is live at
