Invisible No More

Championing Data Equity in New York State and Beyond

For over 15 years, CACF has been the driving force behind the movement for data equity in New York. Through our Invisible No More (INM) campaign, we lead the systemic fight to ensure AAPI New Yorkers are no longer overlooked by the systems meant to serve them.

Our Legislative Victories

Statewide Transformation

In 2021, CACF successfully championed New York State’s landmark data disaggregation law, requiring state agencies to finally recognize and report on the diverse AAPI groups that make up our state.

A Historic Win for NYC

Building on that momentum, CACF authored and drove the passage of Local Law 166 of 2025 (formerly Int. 1134) in 2025. Working with Councilmember Shekar Krishnan, we secured a veto-proof majority to standardize race and ethnicity data across the City’s seven largest agencies.

Beyond the Bills

Passing these landmark pieces of legislation is only the beginning. CACF remains on the front lines to ensure full implementation, turning legislative wins into real-world resources for our most marginalized communities so that policymakers can ensure ALL New Yorkers — regardless of their ethnic background or the language they speak — get the resources they need to not only survive, but thrive.

Supporting Disaggregated Data for New Yorkers with Disabilities

With support from the New York Community Trust, our team supports a collaborative of community-based organizations as they advocate for improved data collection processes and uplift the needs of Asian Americans with intellectual disabilities and their families.
