AAPI New Jersey
Rally with AAPI NJ for the People's Agenda
At a time of relentless attacks on our communities from the federal level, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in New Jersey are looking to our state's leaders to protect our rights, stand up for the vulnerable, and invest in our children's futures. Join us as we rally in front of the State House in Trenton in support of the People's Agenda, a social-justice-centered set of bills identified by 30+ advocacy and civil rights organizations as critical to protecting and advancing voting rights, immigrant rights, and more (full list below).
