As a member of ManForward, Phougna mobilizes a national network of Southeast Asian men and masculine people to transform patriarchal power systems through direct-action organizing, education, and collective healing. The nonprofit organization aims to heal men; transform masculinity; and uplift the voices of women, queer, and nonconforming people. Their restorative practices include healing sessions, accountability circles, PE sessions, and youth/adults retreats. Phougna is also a lead organizer at Southeast Asian Freedom Network (SEAFN), a national network of Southeast Asian organizations dedicated to the development and mobilization of Southeast Asian communities. SEAFN advocates for immigration reform to keep refugee families together that were impacted by the Cambodian genocide and the Southeast Asian War. They are also working to unite Southeast Asian communities to organize for power so that families can protect their human rights and live with dignity.
