coalition building

CACF builds a coalition of Asian Pacific American led and serving organizations to better meet the needs of Asian Pacific American children.

In 2007, CACF launched the ACT (Asian Communities Together) Now! campaign. CACF leads a pan-Asian advocacy agenda with a coalition of advocacy organizations and community based organizations to improve policies, funding, and services for Asian Pacific American families. We are building strategic partnerships with policymakers to ensure that key decisions are expressly keeping Asian Pacific American children and families in mind.
