2026 A&NH/PI Legislative Day
Thank you to everyone who joined our 2026 AANH/PI Legislative day on February 5th in Olympia, WA! We joined the great APIC WA advocating for community health, immigrant justice, environmental justice, history education, and economic equity. So proud of our community activists and youth for advocating for our communities in front of government officials. We showed up. We spoke up. We stood together on the Capitol steps and met with elected officials across our legislative districts to share the concerns and what we stand for. Representation matters! Grateful for all of our many strong community advocates and our youth taking time to join us! Let us continue advocating for our community! Thank you all!

2025 Navigating Change, Building Our Future
We had an energizing day of growth, connection, and inspiration! We heard from BIPoC leaders in a variety of sectors who shared their stories and best practices. Participants had time to build practical leadership skills, network with mentors, peers and allies, work on community projects, and explore advocacy and civic engagement opportunities.
APIC Democracy Summit
APIC's Democracy Summit happened 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. Watch our highlights in the videos below!

Pew Research: When surveying small populations, some approaches are more inclusive than others
Survey researchers increasingly recognize that a single survey of the general public can rarely represent the views of small groups of Americans. Such surveys frequently have too few interviews with certain populations – such as smaller religious or racial or ethnic groups – for those voices to be heard.
Pew Research: The Asian American Experience
In the fall of 2021, Pew Research Center undertook the largest focus group study it had ever conducted to hear Asian Americans talk about their lived experiences in America.
