East and Southeast Asians North East
East and Southeast Asians North East is a queer trans & intersex led community-network centering QTIBIPOC+ community care & intersectional anti-racism.
We nurture collective healing, connection, and mutual aid across our ESA & QTIBAIPOC+ communities.
We challenge oppression and violence, campaigning for justice that centre survivors.
We strengthen our community. we work together, share skills, power-build, advocate, mentor and resource-build.
We began in response to racism towards ESAs in the North East England during the surge of Covid-19 fuelled racism to our communities. We continue to challenge anti-ESA racism, whilst working to build solidarities within our East to Southeast Asian community as well as our Black Asian and Indigenous People of Colour community.
We’re an international movement; we exist across borders, working to decentre the imperial core, build solidarities, redistribute resources, decolonise diasporic experiences of heritage, and celebrate our cultures.
