Our Mission
We dedicate to bridge and strengthen our AA-NH/PI communities through culturally informed outreach, education, and policy advocacy that advance equitable access to health and human services, economic opportunity, civil rights, and education.
Our Vision
To create a welcoming and inclusive community for AA-NH/PI individuals and organizations in the South Puget Sound area of Washington State
To achieve our mission, APIC SPS is guided by the following values and behaviors:
Honoring our history
We must preserve and learn from the past. We celebrate our unique stories, successes and struggles, pain, and disappointments. Valuing the intergenerational wisdom our community has means cultivating meaningful connections between generations. We center youth voices and leadership as we continue to grow.
Commitment to Equity and Justice
Centering the voices and lived experiences of oppressed communities comes first. We must acknowledge the intersections of privilege and oppression. We are committed to fighting against white supremacy through an anti-racist lens.
Modeling Integrity
We move at the speed of trust and consensus. Transparency is a top priority.
Nourishing Community
It is vital to create spaces for learning, reflection, and expression through mediums such as cultural/spiritual arts and literary mediums. We build and lift each other up with love, compassion, and empathy.
Leading with Courage and Passion
We embrace differences and lean into discomfort. We celebrate success and acknowledge the wisdom of failure.
Building Power and Solidarity
Our ancestors are always with us. We recognize the interconnectedness of our oppression and the work of those who came before us. We ground our work in the struggles of Indigenous communities.
