Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month!

As a coalition of more than 30 national Asian American and Pacific Islander organizations, the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans (NCAPA) is looking forward to celebrating Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM) throughout May. Each organization within NCAPA does work related to civil rights, health, immigration, education and more. This APAHM, we are spotlighting the achievements of our members who work year-round to address issues important to our communities.

“May is a time to recognize the countless contributions that Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have made to our nation, and as the fastest-growing racial group, we continue to shape the history and culture of the United States,” saidNCAPA National Director Christopher Kang.

Here are a few ways you can celebrate APAHM:

• Celebrate with us in Washington, D.C., by checking out the list of APAHM events on the NCAPA website.
