Language access is an incredibly important and far-reaching issue for our #AAPI communities. Tune in to some of the 💎💎💎 that our executive director Gregg Orton dropped on a recent APAICS panel. #APAHM26

Thanks to our partners for making NCAPA #HillDay a success this #APAHM! 💰We shared with Members of Congress our key findings: Affordability is the TOP concern for our #aapi communities. We deserve to have affordable health insurance and good jobs. 🗞️Read more at: NCAPAOnline.org or at link in bio.

Our latest #AAPI Policy Priorities survey shows 85% of AAPIs support funding Minority Serving Institutions that support AAPI students. This is in direct contrast to the Trump Administration’s gutting of the program last year.

💸Budgets are moral documents-they show what our government is prioritizing. Unfortunately, the President’s FY2027 budget shows us he’d rather spend trillions on an unnecessary war -not making life more affordable for families.

🗣️April is Language Access Month. Among #AANHPIs over 100 languages and dialects are spoken. 📲Learn more about language access and visit NCAPA’s website: NCAPAOnline.org

📣Closing out #NewsLiteracy Week, we want to note that disinformation, including AI-generated content, affects #AAPI communities who get their news in many different languages & across many social media platforms. YOU have the power to stop misinformation by looking at the FACTS!

📣Today, NCAPA and its members (@ocanational & @jacl_national ) joined leaders of the Tri-Caucus as they called for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to resign. 🔹The Trump Administration has terrorized communities, violated the Constitution and continually lied to the American public at a staggering scale.
