Our Programs & Initiatives
Our year-round programs aspire to bring together and impact continental communities, build leaders, strengthen cultural ties, and provide a support network and a collective voice.
2020 Project
We’re on a mission to register 100,000 AAPIs by the 2020 Elections. We are doing this by raising awareness, providing education, and giving a space for civic engagement on the local, regional, and national scale. The 2020 Project hopes to close that gap and have more representation reflected in policy change and implementation!
