In December 2023, CACF released “Storytelling As An Advocacy Tool,” a step-by-step guide for our members and partners on how they can incorporate storytelling into their budget advocacy. 

Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) stories matter. Our stories are rooted in the manifestation of power, diversity, and the amplification of our cultures. The AAPI Diaspora is diverse in languages, traditions, cultures, and ethnicities where our voices are unique and individualistic. It is through the storytelling of individuals who comprise our community, the collectives that advocate for representation, and the shared struggle of policies that have prevented social progress and justice by which we can identify common issues and cultivate solutions to address them.

The primary goal of this toolkit is to assist community- and advocacy-based organizations on how to build narratives and cultivate effective testimonials and community driven stories centered around the AAPI Diaspora as an asset to effect positive impact and promote social justice.
