On March 24, 2012, Mr. Sam Rainsy visited San Jose, California, where he shared with the Cambodian community the current social and economic states of Cambodia. He discussed about economic land concessions and how they affect ordinary people from urban dwellings such as Boeung Kak, Borei Keila, and Dey Krohorm to indigenous area such as Prey Lang. Cambodia continues to lose forest and riverbed sand at destructive rates. He also discussed about factory workers who suffered mass-fainting while working. No one knows the cause and no one takes responsibility or is held accountable for this mass fainting cases. Factory workers were also shot at by armed guards and town mayor when they protested to demand fair compensation and treatment.

Mr. Sam Rainsy also shared about his political platforms that can put a stop to all these situations. He also discussed about the recent senate election success, and his party's plan for the upcoming commune election scheduled for the month June, as well as the 2013 national election.
