For too long, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities have been portrayed as a silent minority in the public sphere. It is time for our community to speak up. There is strength in numbers. By joining together, we can make our voices count in the halls of Congress, the White House, and upper echelons of corporate America, and create greater access to our nation’s leaders.
We invite you to join the nonpartisan 1000 Initiative, a national network of committed AAPI churches and Christian leaders to speak with a unified voice: to bear witness, to advocate, and to seek partnerships that specifically address our community's unique challenges.
AAPI Faith Alliance 1000 Initiative: To promote AAPI voices in the public sphere, the AAPI Faith Alliance is calling churches and ministries to join a movement of 1000 organizations. This movement will connect and engage our communities in continued efforts to increase our presence in the national dialogues. We invite your church, ministry or organization to be a Ministry Partner engaged in this effort.
