We are excited to reach out to you with a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact within the AAPI community. The CalAsian Foundation, in collaboration with the CalAsian Chamber of Commerce (CalAsian Chamber) and other community partners, is hosting the AAPI Strong CA: Listening Tour with Senator Angelique Ashby and District Attorney Thien Ho on Thursday, September 21, 2023.

This event focuses on a critical issue affecting our community – preventing and responding to bias and hate incidents, with a particular emphasis on those targeting Asian-owned small businesses in Sacramento. Small business representation is pivotal to this roundtable discussion, as these businesses have been directly impacted by this concerning trend.
