2020 Advocacy

In 2020, the Governor called a special session to address the imminent issues posed by the pandemic. We advocated for AANHPI working families who were disproportionately hit hard. We also focused on ensuring health measures were implemented and community members would not need to put themselves at risk in order to do their civic duty or go to work.
