Our Vision
Our vision is for a more inclusive democracy built by drawing on the strength of diverse traditions, common values and community togetherness. We envision a socially conscious and informed society that integrates greater participation and representation by Asian Americans. We believe that for such a society to exist we must work within a cross-racial, cross-ethnic framework focused on grassroots power and solidarity.
Guiding Principles and Core Strategies
Our work is guided by the following principles and strategies:
- Increasing visibility of the rapidly growing Asian American population in the state by lifting up our voices in the public discourse
- Working within an intersectional framework for racial justice and civil rights
- Creating structural change as well as greater justice within current systems
- Building a pipeline for the next generation of Asian American leaders
- Empowering Asian Americans statewide in civic engagement and movement building by providing resources, training, and education towards a long-term social justice agenda.
- Connecting existing networks of Asian Americans to support each other
- Bringing folks together and supporting each other and each other’s issues
