Legacies of War is a Washington, DC–based non-profit organization focused on raising awareness of the Vietnam War–era bombing in Laos and advocating for the clearance of unexploded ordnance. The group aims to support healing from war’s wounds and foster hope for peace through activities in art, culture, education, community organizing, and dialogue, rather than direct humanitarian aid. Its outreach targets the Laotian American community and the broader U.S. public, aiming to mobilize support for increased U.S. funding for landmine clearance, education, awareness, and victim assistance in Laos. Positioned within the non-profit sector, Legacies of War emphasizes education and advocacy as its core strategy to maximize impact within a relatively small budget. The organization operates from its location in Washington, District of Columbia, and focuses on transforming the legacy of bombing through public engagement and policy influence.
