Washington DC Chapter
Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Association
About our chapter
The APAPA DC Chapter is focused on partnering with other local and national organizations to advance leadership and civic engagement in our diverse communities. The chapter members are also dedicated to developing the next generation of leaders through the APAPA National Internship Program. Each year, the APAPA DC Chapter also organizes and leads a Legislative Advocacy & Outreach Day at our nation's capitol in collaboration with other APAPA chapter leaders who join them from across the country. Recent issues and legislation supported include a new national Asian History Museum in DC, Asian American History being taught in K-12 public schools, Lunar New Year becoming an official state and federal holiday, the recognition of the 80th Anniversary of the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act, and resources for combating hate crimes.
