Join SEAFN’s Southeast Asian Relief & Responsibility (SEARR) Campaign. The SEARR Campaign is a national effort to free our people from generational cycles of displacement and heal our communities. We embark on a multi-year campaign aiming to win concrete relief for our people, while holding the U.S. accountable for the harm and violence inflicted on our people during and after the War in Southeast Asia.

SEARR campaigns includes two bills: Victims of Agent Orange Act and the Agent Orange Relief Act

They were introduced by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib on April 28, 2025 as we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the War in Southeast Asia.

Ask Congressional Rep to support the two bills today!

The Agent Orange Relief Act provides benefits for children of male U.S. veterans who served in Vietnam affected by birth defects, a group left behind under current law which only covers birth defects for children of women veterans; supports greater research into Agent Orange-related health issues; and directs a health assessment and provision of assistance for affected Vietnamese American communities.

The Victims of Agent Orange Act supports medical care and related assistance for Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange; provides environmental remediation for areas in Vietnam exposed to Agent Orange; and directs a health assessment and provision of assistance for affected Vietnamese American communities.
