Listening First 

We start with listening. AAPI communities are not monolithic, and durable solutions require a clear understanding of lived experience and local context. 

Themes We’re Hearing

This list evolves as we listen: 

• Belonging, safety, and being treated with dignity

• Civic participation and representation 

• Language access and navigation of public services

• Access to opportunity: jobs, small business support, and affordability  

• Education, workforce transition, and the impacts of technology

• Mental health and intergenerational well‑being
