5th Annual Marshallese Women's Conference 2025

Our theme this year is: Kora Em Ajre! Weaving the Power of Well-Being, Women of the Past, Present and Future, taking place on March 19-20th, 2025 at the Jones Center in Springdale.

This Year's theme: Ajre is the final thunderclap that gives the powerful sound marking the end of a storm. It symbolizes the intensity of tranquility that brings silence to all external disruption. In the context of Kora Em Ajre, it represents the crucial role of Marshallese women in society, particularly as arbitrators, catalysts and well-being champions. These women are the weavers/crafters of well-being, carrying forward indigenous practices with modern approaches to bridge the past, enrich the present, and shape the future of well-being.

This event aims to reduce health disparity by addressing Social Determinant Of Health via connecting Marshallese women to services and resources through plenary sessions, dialogues, and presentations.

This is more than just a gathering—it’s a powerful opportunity to learn, grow, and celebrate together! Get ready for an inspiring 2-day event! Come expand your knowledge, strengthen your voice, and celebrate the power of Marshallese women! Bring your sisters, mothers, daughters, and friends—let’s grow and uplift each other!

Please check out the flyer!

Nuclear Victim's Rememberance Day

A day that we will always remember and a land that has been poisoned by radiation. A people that sacrificed their lives for ‘‘the good of mankind.’’ Though the day has the word victim, we are survivors because of our resilience, but victims because it will still affect us long after we are dust.

event to offer policy solutions to help address hunger in the Marshallese community

Every Arkansan should have access to adequate and nutritious food. But all too often, our “safety net” programs leave out the ones who need it most. For example, people born in the Marshall Islands are left out of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, or SNAP. This is a longstanding oversight in federal law that we could help address with legislation now under consideration by Congress.

  2. Be entertained by musicians, artists, makers, and performers and learn about their entrepreneurial stories.

  3. Learn how we can take action to make our community more supportive for entrepreneurs of all kinds. Meet our civic leaders, policymakers, educators, and others who are making an impact.

Voter Engagement Classic: Registering Voters with Paper Forms

  • Arkansas Coalition of Marshallese (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

National Voter Registration Day Webinars | National Voter Registration Day Call us old-fashioned, but there’s something about the classic voter registration setup of a folding table, a “REGISTER TO VOTE” sign, and a handful of bright-eyed volunteers carrying nothing more than a clipboard with paper registration forms and a pen. While online voter registration has become more common, millions of Americans live in states where pen-and-paper registration is the only available option. Even in states that do allow for online tools, paper forms can often feel more approachable for partner organizations and potential voters alike. Hosted by National Voter Registration Day
