80-20 is a national, nonpartisan, Political Action Committee dedicated to winning equal opportunity and justice for all Asian Americans through a SWING bloc vote, ideally directing 80% of our community’s votes and money to the presidential candidate endorsed by the 80-20, who better represents the interests of all APAs. Hence, the name “80-20” was created.
Founded in 1974, the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) is the first legal rights organization on the East Coast serving Asian Americans. We were founded by a group of lawyers, law students and community activists who believed that the law should be used as a tool to achieve social and economic justice for Asian Americans and all Americans.
The mission of the Asian American Justice Center is to advance the human and civil rights of Asian Americans through advocacy, public policy, public education and litigation.
The Institute was established in 1992 as a pan-Asian, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. The mission is to empower the Asian Pacific American community through advocacy, by utilizing research, education and coalition building. Current programs include Voting Rights, APA Empowerment Initiative, APA Resource Guide and advocacy against hate crimes. Our motto is to “educate, advocate, and empower,” and with your help, we hope to continue doing just that.
The Conference on Asian Pacific American Leadership (CAPAL) is a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational organization dedicated to building leadership and public policy knowledge within the Asian Pacific American community. Its mission is to promote APA interests and success in public sector careers, to provide information and education on policy issues affecting the APA community, and to serve the APA community at large.
The Federal Asian Pacific American Council (FAPAC) is an organization that promotes equal opportunity and cultural diversity for APAs within the Federal and District of Columbia governments. FAPAC encourages the participation and advancement of APAs in the Government work force.
Founded in 1992, the Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance, AFL-CIO, is the first and only national organization of Asian Pacific American (APA) union members.
The stated goals of APALA were to create an organization which would educate APA workers; promote political education and voter registration programs among APAs; and promote training, empowerment and leadership of APAs within the labor movement. APALA further set out to defend and advocate for the civil and human rights of APAs, immigrants and people of color and to develop ties within international labor organizations, especially in Asia and the Pacific.
APAP is a national network of progressive Asian Pacific Americans and friends. Our goals are to represent and organize for the electoral empowerment of those throughout our diverse communities who share our progressive values and dedication to political action.
The National Korean American Service & Education Consortium (NAKASEC) was founded as a consortium in 1994 by local community centers that realized that only by coming together can we build and contribute to a national movement for civil rights. They are the Korean Resource Center in Los Angeles, the Korean American Resource & Cultural Center in Chicago and YKASEC – Empowering the Korean American Community in New York.
NAKASEC is a national organization founded by five Korean American community organizations located in major cities across the United States. We held out founding conference in a church fellowship hall in Los Angeles on September 30, 1994 and was incorporated on March 15, 1995.
NAKASEC seeks to empower and improve the lives of Korean Americans through the following goals:
• Facilitate grassroots organizing and political/civic participation of Korean Americans
• Advocate for the civil rights of Korean Americans
• Educate the public on issues affecting Korean American communities
• Dialogue and build coalitions with other communities across the nation
• Assist local community organizations in providing needed social and community services, particularly to those with less resources and access such as women, youth, senior citizens, low-income and recent immigrants.
• Promote the Korean cultural heritage as part of diversity of multi-cultural America
