The Cambodian American Literary Arts Association is honored to receive the $13,000 Racial Equity and Inclusion Grant from the Greater Lowell Community Foundation for our Community Dialogue and Workshop Series 2021.

In this series, CALAA will be hosting a community dialogue and five writing/literary arts workshops where we will discuss, share, and explore how we can work towards a just and fair society for all. We will be working with Cambodian and multicultural writers and artists, community leaders and organizers, and agents of change to create safe and brave spaces about profound topics that affect our everyday lives in creative and meaningful ways.
