In 1976, our “Asian Lunch Bunch” founders came together to systemically improve how AAPI Angelenos access government services and resources. This year, AAPI Equity Alliance celebrates five decades of advocacy, justice, policy, community, and change.
The community power that exists today would not be possible without the enduring legacy of our “OG” predecessors, the profound resiliency of our member organizations, and the generous support of individuals like you.
Thank you for joining us in celebrating 50 years of impact!
AAPI Equity Alliance is proud to announce that our Executive Director, Manjusha (Manju) Kulkarni, is a recipient of The James Irvine Foundation’s 2024 Leadership Award!
