ADVOCACY & POLICY
Advocacy by the Chinese American Citizens Alliance is vital for advancing the rights and visibility of Chinese Americans within society.
First, advocacy efforts by CACA play a critical role in challenging discrimination and systemic biases, ensuring that Chinese Americans have a voice in issues of equity and justice. This work helps protect civil rights and reduces instances of racial profiling and harassment.
Second, CACA's advocacy brings attention to policy issues affecting Chinese Americans, from immigration reform to anti-Asian hate legislation, helping to influence laws and public policies that directly impact their lives.
Finally, through sustained advocacy, CACA empowers the Chinese American community by building political awareness and participation, encouraging a new generation to engage in civic leadership and actively shape policies that support their community's growth and prosperity.
