I was thrilled to attend the Dashain celebration in Woodside, hosted by Adhikaar for Human Rights and Social Justice, alongside our vibrant Nepali community. Dashain is a powerful reminder of the triumph of good over evil, bringing families and communities together in unity and celebration. Our office was grateful to witness and support such cultural traditions that enrich our district - thanks to Adhikaar and everyone who made this beautiful event possible!

We are thrilled to have you on our team, Asmita Thapa. Welcome!

Happy Labor Day! ?????? Today we celebrate your achievements, your hard work and determination in our fight for workers’ rights, and celebrate the wins of ancestors in the labor movement who have brought us here today. #Adhikaar is the country’s only women-led community and workers’ center organizing Nepali-speaking workers. We are proud to fight every day for justice and dignity for our people. In all of our work, we embrace a social justice vision bound in dignity and equity for all by centering immigrant workers - like our members and leaders who are domestic workers, nail salon workers, gas station, food delivery,restaurant workers, and more. Happy Labor Day to all!
