Overview

Legislative Day is a chance for Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander communities to show their power. Together, we have a strong voice to talk about what matters to us, like law enforcement and programs. By speaking up and asking for support, we hope to help lawmakers make decisions that benefit everyone.
