2020 NCLF-Voices from Both Sides: Policy Issues Impacting AAPI

Asian Pacific Americans (APAs) remain the fastest growing populations in the United States, at a rate of 46% and 40%, respectively, between the year of 2000 and 2010. This stands in comparison to a 10% population growth rate nationally.*  

While New York, California, and Hawaii have the largest APA populations, states that have seen the fastest-growing populations of APAs in recent years are Nevada, Arizona, and North Carolina. Nevada has seen a 140% increase in the APA population since 2000, 123% in Arizona, and a 115% increase in North Carolina.* 

National Civic Leadership Forum is thrilled to have the Trump/Pence and Biden/Harris representatives to talk about the following important APA issues:

Social Justice, Race Relations, and the American Value 

Jobs and Economy 

Education
