Purpose
With the Chinese American population accounting for nearly twenty percent of San Francisco and well over two-thirds of that being immigrants, educating and organizing Chinese immigrants to build electoral power for social justice is a critical task. CPA has played in active role in local, statewide, and national alliances to increase the civic engagement of working and immigrant families.
Locally, CPA is a co-founding organization of the San Francisco Rising Alliance, a citywide multi-racial and multi-sector progressive electoral alliance. In 2015, CPA formed a statewide initiative called AAPIs for Civic Empowerment- Education Fund with APEN in Oakland and Korean Resource Center in Orange and Los Angeles County to develop the civic engagement infrastructure for AAPI grassroots organizations.
