📣 It’s big, it’s bold, it’s glam–it’s NAPAWF’s 30th Anniversary Gala! This incredible celebration will take place on October 3rd in Los Angeles at The Omni! Visit www.napawf.org/gala and stay tuned for more info and updates! ✨

Our time at in Minneapolis at #aaja26 has left us feeling inspired & empowered by the connections we made, stories we shared, & discussions we led on democracy, immigrant justice, & reproductive justice as it relates to AANHPI communities.

We’re proud to be part of Abortion Access Now, a powerful campaign fighting for abortion access and reproductive justice for all by organizing and educating communities, providers, and policy makers. Check out Abortion Access Now at abortionaccessnowcampaign.org!

On the anniversary of the Dobbs decision, we joined our partners in D.C. to share stories & talk with @repcasar.bsky.social, @pallone.house.gov, & @frost.house.gov about what we want to see when it comes to protecting our right to abortion. It was an event we're proud to have been a part of it!

Join us over on Instagram (@napawf) for a chat with our Senior Director of Policy about the SCOTUS’ recent rulings on birthright citizenship & trans student athletes, and how these cases impact AANHPI communities.

Though we are relieved that the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the constitutionally protected right of birthright citizenship, we must stay vigilant. This was just one attack out of many within a broader effort to shrink who can fully participate in our democracy.

Four years ago today, SCOTUS overturned Roe & gave politicians the right to police decisions that should belong only to a pregnant person & their doctor, opening the floodgates to attacks on our reproductive freedom. We won't accept this as the status quo. We all deserve access to abortion care.

Are you headed to @aajaofficial.sky.social #aaja26? Join Christina & @19thnews on 6/26 at 9:00 am for a panel about the intersections of economic justice, immigrant rights, & reproductive freedom–and what we’re doing to build a movement that wins! Then join us for a coffee reception until 10:30 am.

Celebrate pride with us by joining our Executive Director, Christina Baal-Owens for a conversation with Kat Evasco, Executive Director of @nqapia.bsky.social on IG Live, today, June 22 at 4:30pm ET. We’ll get to hear about Kat’s experience growing up Queer and AANHPI in the 90s!

ICYMI: research from @the75million.bsky.social & npwf.bsky.social found that women are the majority of teleworkers, which has had a real impact on gender equity & economic security, especially for working mothers & disabled women. Check out some highlights below! ⬇️

AANHPI communities are sometimes overlooked in conversations about the wage gap because of myths about the “model minority,” which contributes to the assumption that Asian American women are economically secure. That’s just not true–but we’ve got the facts. Check it out:
