We couldn't be more excited to have Lilan Bowden joining us at our 30th Anniversary Gala as our MC! Lilan is actress and director based out of Los Angeles and also performs live comedy. We know she'll fill the evening with fun and laughter ✨ Join us on October 3rd at the Omni Hotel in Los Angeles!
Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, a Chinese-American suffragist, educator, and minister who fought relentless for women's voting rights.
Flossie Wong-Staal, a Chinese-American virologist whose work played a critical role in the global fight against HIV and AIDS.
Kalpana Chawla, the first woman of India origin and the first South Asian American woman to travel to space, inspiring countless young people to dream big.
Patsy Takemoto Mink, the first woman of color AND first Asian-American woman in Congress, and a critical figure in the creation of equitable policy.
Amy May Wong, first Chinese-American movie star who had an amazing international career.
Margaret "Mom" Chung, a Chinese American woman physician and important figure in healthcare.
Cases of noncitizens voting, like what occurred in New Jersey, are extremely uncommon. We cannot let this isolated instance become weaponized to pass xenophobic and racist restrictions that jeopardize our basic right to participate in our democracy.
This #BlackWomensEqualPayDay, we're calling on policymakers to take action and urge the EEOC to continue collecting critical data that makes the enforcement of civil rights protections possible. Together, we must protect critical civil rights infrastructure.
📣 It’s big, it’s bold, it’s glam–it’s NAPAWF’s 30th Anniversary Gala! This incredible celebration will take place on October 3rd in Los Angeles at The Omni! Visit www.napawf.org/gala and stay tuned for more info and updates! ✨
We’re proud to be part of Abortion Access Now, a powerful campaign fighting for abortion access and reproductive justice for all by organizing and educating communities, providers, and policy makers. Check out Abortion Access Now at abortionaccessnowcampaign.org!
On the anniversary of the Dobbs decision, we joined our partners in D.C. to share stories & talk with @repcasar.bsky.social, @pallone.house.gov, & @frost.house.gov about what we want to see when it comes to protecting our right to abortion. It was an event we're proud to have been a part of it!
Though we are relieved that the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the constitutionally protected right of birthright citizenship, we must stay vigilant. This was just one attack out of many within a broader effort to shrink who can fully participate in our democracy.
Four years ago today, SCOTUS overturned Roe & gave politicians the right to police decisions that should belong only to a pregnant person & their doctor, opening the floodgates to attacks on our reproductive freedom. We won't accept this as the status quo. We all deserve access to abortion care.
Are you headed to @aajaofficial.sky.social #aaja26? Join Christina & @19thnews on 6/26 at 9:00 am for a panel about the intersections of economic justice, immigrant rights, & reproductive freedom–and what we’re doing to build a movement that wins! Then join us for a coffee reception until 10:30 am.
Celebrate pride with us by joining our Executive Director, Christina Baal-Owens for a conversation with Kat Evasco, Executive Director of @nqapia.bsky.social on IG Live, today, June 22 at 4:30pm ET. We’ll get to hear about Kat’s experience growing up Queer and AANHPI in the 90s!
Say hi to Gyan, our Director of Finance! Gyan takes care of accounting and financial management, reporting, planning, and analysis. To say our work couldn’t happen without him is an understatement. Swipe to learn about Gyan, why he got involved in NAPAWF, and what he’s up to off the clock!
Join the Executive Directors of @napawf.org & @ncaattogether.bsky.social on IG Live June 16 at 10am for a conversation about the importance of building AANHPI community power at all levels, especially during this political moment. Follow us on IG at @napawf and NCAAT @ncaattogether! Don’t miss out!

The dismantling of the Voting Rights Act is a reminder that we have unfinished business. This fight is ours—and we are going to finish it.
Christina Baal-Owens sat down with the folks at Asian American History 101 to talk about her journey into advocacy, her vision for NAPAWF, & what we need to be doing in this political moment to build lasting power. Listen to the full episode at asianamericanhistory101.libsyn.com/a-conversati...
New data from NCAPA & AAPI Data shows that affordability is a top issue for AAPI communities. Why does this matter? Because the AAPI voter bloc is a powerful group when it comes to elections. Read more about the top issues facing our communities: www.ncapaonline.org/2026prioriti...
Many AANHPI women+ may have access to healthcare on paper, but that doesn’t mean they have access to healthcare in practice. Language barriers, healthcare deserts, and the threat of ICE all prevent many AANHPI women+ from getting comprehensive care. Learn more in the clip below!
Moms deserve more than flowers this Mother's Day. We're keeping space in our hearts for the mothers and families who are separated due to ICE and immigration status. We need affordability and care - not cruelty. #FamiliesBelongTogether
