What did we do there?
Along with 3,000 other demonstrators around the world (Seattle, Utah, Las Vegas, Toronto, San Francisco, Paris and more), PBC SoCal members advocated for a Vietnamese government that upholds principles of democracy and human rights in Việt Nam and protested against China's territorial claims over the Paracel and Spratly Islands.
PBC members in attendance included Jason Lee, Tammy Trần, Sam Huỳnh, Giao Trần, Trường Bùi, Kevin Lê, and Brendon Trần.

Inspired by the demonstration, Sam Huỳnh excitedly remarked, "Events like these always make me so proud to be Vietnamese!"
Here are some photos from the event:
