Blog Topic #5: Does your CP get caught in conflict relating to its local and state relationships?
Pacific Links generally has no conflict with its local and state governments. They have a close relationship with the governments and are generally free to do their own work. As they more directly function in Vietnam, they have to be in good relationships with both US and Vietnamese governments in order to operate.

Blog Topic #3
Blog Topic #3: What is the relationship between citizens and your CP? On what level do they interact? How can citizen participation affect your CP?
The citizens are the primary focus of the Milpitas branch of Pacific Links. As it is based in the United States and not Vietnam, they cannot directly aid survivors in Vietnam. As such, the focus of the US branch is to educate and raise the awareness of the citizens here. They host events and spread the word though social media to educate the general populace about their work. Their aim is to acquire the aid of citizens in order to further raise awareness and funds to assist the branches in Vietnam to further aid survivors.

Topic #1: In what sense did your CP arise from a local need or perspective? Is your CP constrained or otherwise affected by Federal policies? To whom is your CP accountable?
Pacific Links began as a response to human trafficking in Vietnam. While the main teams are operating in Vietnam, there is a team in the United States focused on communication and attention of their organization and their work.
They are limited in what they are allowed to do, both by United States Federal policies and policies in Vietnam as their work spans both countries. Currently, they are limited to educating and empowering trafficking survivors and would-be victims in order to prevent more people from being trafficked and to aid those who have been. They cannot simply raid trafficking circles and pull people out, but must make do with what they are able to do.
Pacific Links is at the mercy of the US and Vietnamese governments. They must stay within the laws and policies of both countries.
