We are honored to share that we participated in the AA & NHPI Policy Summit hosted by the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (WHIAANHPI). This summit was a powerful convergence of passionate community leaders, advocates, and policymakers who came together to uplift the voices of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities.

This summit featured inspiring speakers, including senior officials from the Biden-Harris Administration, who shared their vision for a more equitable future. 

Throughout the day, we engaged in heartfelt conversations about critical issues affecting our communities. From advancing economic equity to addressing anti-Asian hate and enhancing mental and behavioral health resources for youth and families, uplifting stories of our communities plays a critical role in shaping the policy. Our participation in this summit reinforced our commitment to guide and encourage our youth leaders to amplify their voices and ensure their lived experiences are part of the policy-making dialogue.
