TAPAHTUMAT
APIC Democracy Summit
APIC's Democracy Summit is back! This year's event will be held on Friday, September 27th, 2024 at the Tacoma Dome.
Every four years, the Asian Pacific Islander Coalition of Washington holds a Democracy Summit with the goal of encouraging and promoting culturally meaningful and holistic civic engagement in our communities, and creating a space for our communities to collectivize around the issues that matter most to us.
The summit is an opportunity for our culturally, linguistically, and geographically diverse AANHPI communities to come together and make sure our elected officials or candidates see, hear, and understand our collective power.
If needed, buses will be arranged to provide transportation to and from Tacoma. Please email us ASAP at apic.southpugetsound@gmail.com if your group would like us to make such an arrangement before the first of September. Thank you!
