Our member organizations are steadfast in their commitment to meeting the needs of our communities. As a coalition of over 40 community-based organizations, we understand the diverse needs of the 1.5 million Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Southern California and advocate for the rights of all our people. Building on the grassroots foundation set by our founders and the work of our current member organizations, we are a leading voice on local, state, and national issues related to gender-based violence, social, racial, environmental and economic justice for AAPIs.
