AAPI Heritage Month - Enduring Impact

As we begin Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are reminded of the importance of cross-racial solidarity in the fight for social justice. At Tides Advocacy, we stand in solidarity with people of color and communities who have survived historical and contemporary structural oppression. 

To kick off this month, we are excited to share our 2022 Impact Report, highlighting our progress over the past year toward our commitment to racial justice and advancing a pro-Black agenda.

We are proud and grateful for the work of our partners whose vital contributions bring us closer to the multi-racial democracy we wish to see every day. 

“Language justice is language access.”
 --Mohan Seshadri, Executive Director, Asian Pacific Islander Political Alliance

The Asian Pacific Islander Political Alliance (API PA) is the first and only statewide political organization by and for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Pennsylvania. Through electoral engagement, policy advocacy, and leadership training, API PA is building long-term power for APIs in Pennsylvania and deepening solidarity with other aligned communities of color across the state. 

With support from our Healthy Democracy Action Fund, API PA launched culturally competent and linguistically accessible direct voter contact and political persuasion programs. 

To learn more about how API PA builds collective power in Pennsylvania, visit apipennsylvania.org. 

We are also thrilled to announce the launch of our new website, which is designed to provide a more user-friendly experience and better showcase the work and impact of our partners & grantees.

Join us in this critical work to create a truly inclusive, equitable, and just world for all. 

Thank you for your continued support.

In Solidarity,
The Tides Advocacy Team
