In 2025, our API community faces challenges at local, state, and federal levels. We will focus on member recruitment, research, education, leadership development, and federal defense. Our efforts include community organizing, voter engagement, and coalition work, especially against anti-immigrant sentiment. We'll create an Asian American Environmental Justice Agenda and continue developing leaders through the SEED Fellowship and Unity Grants. To strengthen federal defense, we'll hire a Statewide Community Defense Organizer and leverage our Power Caucus.

We build power for APIs across Pennsylvania by providing culturally competent, linguistically accessible messaging in 20 languages, ensuring our communities are knowledgeable about issues and candidates. Focusing on Democracy Defense, Climate Equity, Save Chinatown, and Justice for Christian Hall, we‘ll educate and empower our people to vote for progressive candidates.

API PA is Pennsylvania’s first and only statewide 501(c)(4) organization dedicated to empowering Asian Americans. We build long-term political power by holding elected officials accountable, engaging in culturally competent voter outreach, and fostering solidarity with other communities of color. Serving over 251,000 eligible Asian voters in PA, we address low registration and language barriers, with 78% speaking a language other than English. We combat misinformation and provide multilingual education, ensuring our API communities access critical resources like healthcare and safe spaces for cultural and political expression. Together, we amplify our Asian American voices in PA.
