LEARN MORE ABOUT THE HEAL ACT → Every person should be able to get affordable health care no matter how long they have been in the U.S. or the status they have been granted. But because of unnecessary policy barriers, immigrants have to navigate a complicated patchwork of care that often forces them to pay out-of-pocket. The HEAL for Immigrant Families Act will help immigrants get the health care they need by removing the xenophobic restrictions that prevent them from being insured and disproportionately harm Black, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, and other immigrants of color. Learn more and take action → MEDICATION ABORTION STUDY We’re researching the abortion needs of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders because this information doesn’t exist for our communities. This two-year study, using focus groups, interviews, and a nationally representative survey, will focus on understanding how AANHPIs think and talk about medication abortion, their experiences with medication abortion to terminate their pregnancies, and barriers to accessing medication abortion. More about the study → We’re currently recruiting for virtual and phone interviews! Participants will receive a $50 gift card for their time. We’re looking for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders who: * are between the ages of 18 and 49; * were assigned female or intersex at birth; * and have used medication abortion since the year 2018.

HELD ON JUNE 23 - A CONVERSATION WITH ASIAN AMERICAN WRITERS' WORKSHOP ABOUT CREATING SPACES FOR AAPI VOICES In collaboration with The Asian American Writers' Workshop (AAWW), we presented a conversation about the importance of radical storytelling with panelists who are redefining what Asian diasporic literature looks like today.

Membership Information Upcoming Events -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAPAWF IN THE NEWS Featured Aug 9, 2021 Al Día, "Biden and Harris meet with AAPI leaders, discuss new messaging around COVID-19, among other issues" Aug 9, 2021 Choimorrow spoke about an experience she had of being harassed while walking down the street with her five-year-old child, to emphasize the need for appropriate messaging that doesn’t use racial scapegoating. Aug 9, 2021 Aug 6, 2021 Washington Post, "Under Trump, OPM withered. A new director hopes to revitalize the agency." Aug 6, 2021 She emphasized her commitment to reversing racist progress in opening remarks to reporters, citing the “economic and racial reckoning that’s taking place in this country.” She was “very much involved” in those issues “on the philanthropic side” during the height of protests against police violence last year. Before leading OPM, she was CEO of Philanthropy Northwest in Seattle, after serving as founding executive director of the National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum. Both organizations include racial equity and justice among their priorities. Aug 6, 2021 Aug 5, 2021 The Yappie, "Biden convenes AAPI leaders to discuss path forward on hate crimes, voting rights" Aug 5, 2021 After months of lobbying from advocates, President Joe Biden met with more than a dozen Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) civil rights leaders on Thursday, which marked the ninth anniversary of the 2012 Oak Creek massacre. Aug 5, 2021 Aug 4, 2021 QNS, "Queens lawmaker introduces bill to help parents return to workforce following COVID-19 pandemic" Aug 4, 2021 “This is on top of the disproportionate wage gap that has plagued certain subgroups of Asian American and Pacific Islander women,” Choimorrow said. “The Honoring Family-Friendly Workplaces Act is grounded in common sense and I applaud Rep. Meng’s leadership to create family-positive work environments so working parents aren’t forced to live in the endless cycle of choosing between our livelihoods and the well-being of our families.” Aug 4, 2021 Aug 2, 2021 Politico, "Opinion: The Next Step in Protecting Asian Americans" Aug 2, 2021 Both Congress’ bill and the White House’s new initiative paint with too broad a brush and fail to focus on three groups within the AAPI community that are uniquely vulnerable to acts of hate, discrimination and violence: women, small businesses and older adults. If leaders really want to protect and boost opportunity for AAPIs, their future initiatives should laser focus on these members of the community. Aug 2, 2021 Jul 30, 2021 The Hill, "Women of color are gaining political power. Here's what they want to do with it." Jul 30, 2021 After turning out in record numbers for the 2020 presidential election, women of color made it known that their voices would not be silenced. But making them heard is still not easy. Jul 30, 2021 Jul 28, 2021 The Washington Informer, "Women of Color Engaged in Politics, New Poll Finds" Jul 28, 2021 The report analyzes the experiences of Black, Latina and Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women voters as they went to the polls in 2020, and the impact the pandemic, racism and policy priorities have had on their lives, Intersections of Our Lives said. Jul 28, 2021 Jul 21, 2021 NBC News, "Delaware state lawmaker apologizes for using racist slur against Asian women" Jul 21, 2021 The email comes months after national conversations about the sexualization and fetishization of Asian women came to the forefront in the wake of the Atlanta shooting. Experts say that Asian women face a very unique and insidious sexism in their everyday lives. Jul 21, 2021 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRESS RELEASES Press Releases Aug 25, 2021 Asian American And Pacific Islander Women 50 And Over Influential, Powerful Voting Bloc In American Politics Aug 25, 2021 “We are a powerful voting bloc in American politics that has yet to reach its full potential,” said Drishti Pillai, Research Manager at NAPAWF. “And contrary to perceived generational differences, older AAPI women are as progressive as their younger counterparts when you consider their voting patterns and beliefs on key issues such as ending racial discrimination and immigration reform.” Aug 25, 2021 Aug 3, 2021 NAPAWF Continues Strategic Growth With Expansion Of Senior Leadership Team Aug 3, 2021 The National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum, the leading organization advocating for Asian American and Pacific Islander women and girls, announces new senior level appointments Aug 3, 2021 Jul 28, 2021 New National Poll: While 14 States Have Rolled Back Voting Rights, Women of Color Voters Are More Engaged in Politics and Want Their Voice Heard Jul 28, 2021 Today, Intersections of Our Lives released new, national polling data demonstrating the intersectionality of the experiences of Black, Latina/x, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women voters. This new research explores the experiences of women of color voters as they went to the polls in 2020, the impact the pandemic and racism has had on their lives, as well as their policy priorities. This release is available in English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Jul 28, 2021 RESOURCES Featured Aug 24, 2021 Voting and Policy Priorities of Asian American and Pacific Islander Women 50 and Older Aug 24, 2021 This brief sheds light on the voting patterns, policy priorities, and experiences with anti-AAPI hate among AAPI women 50 years of age and older to better understand their experiences at the polls as well as the issues they care about the most. Aug 24, 2021 Jun 14, 2021 Amicus Brief: PP South Atlantic v. Phillip Jun 14, 2021 This brief is a follow-up to the brief we filed in 2019, asking that the court uphold the lower court's decision in favor of Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, and explains the harm to women of color, who make up a disproportionate number of Medicaid beneficiaries, that would result from South Carolina's actions. Jun 14, 2021 Jun 4, 2021 Letter of Support for Tana Lin Jun 4, 2021 Not only will Ms. Lin be the first Asian American district court judge on the federal bench in the state of Washington, but her career demonstrates she would bring unique perspectives as an immigrant woman of color to the bench.
