2021 APA City Advocacy Week

Civic Engagement, COVID-19, Event February 23, 2021
2021 APA City Advocacy Week

Our Executive Director Sudha Acharya and panelists from other community based organizations serving Asian and Pacific American populations spoke about the affect of COVID-19 on the Asian Pacific American community and the challenges they faced. This is in part of APA City Advocacy Week organized by the Coalition for Asian American Children & Families (CACF). Panelists shared the experiences of community members during the pandemic, and how their organizations have had to make changes to respond to the needs. Many also expressed concern for how our communities would be affected once emergency relief comes to a halt.
