The Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF) and the 18% and Growing Campaign kicked off the first of four rallies scheduled to be held across New York City this month in support of investing in a better tomorrow for AAPI New Yorkers with a vibrant and community-centered gathering just steps away from City Hall in City Hall Park.

The Representing and Empowering AANHPI Community History (REACH) Coalition is working to bring Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander history (AANHPI) to New York State schools. The growing coalition, which was created in 2022, is composed of over 140 community leaders, parents, students, educators, and 50+ organizations that are committed to promoting inclusive and diverse curricula in schools.

Happy International Women’s Day from all of us at CACF! To commemorate the day, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the contributions of AAPI women throughout American history.

Happy Women's History Month! Because March is traditionally a month of reflection on the impact of women in history, we thought it would be the perfect time to share that CACF has recently (and proudly) become one of the only nonprofit organizations in New York City with a leadership team made up entirely of women of color.

The Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF) and its 18% And Growing Campaign is set to kick off its 15th annual AAPI City Advocacy Week on Monday, February 27.

Partnerships and collaboration are at the heart of everything we do at CACF — which is why we’re spending this Black History Month discovering more about the long history of Black and Asian solidarity in the United States.

The Coalition of Asian American Children and Families (CACF) welcomed Felicia Singh on Tuesday as the organization’s new Director of Policy and Government Relations. Felicia comes to CACF from the grassroots gender justice organization Jahajee Sisters, where she served as the Advocacy and Campaigns Manager.

This Monday, CACF and our staffers will join Americans across the country in commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day by reflecting on the late civil rights leader’s legacy and the work that still remains to this day.

In a new education report titled A Diverse City Needs Integrated Schools, the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF) examines the impact and benefits of school integration on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students and families in New York City. 

275 advocates, civic leaders, and supporters gathered at Manhattan’s Edison Ballroom Monday for the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF)’s annual Catalyst for Change Awards Gala. The organization’s Catalyst for Change Award celebrates leaders in the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community that exemplify CACF’s commitment to the nation’s children and families.

In a new policy brief titled Collective Healing: Moving Towards A More Community-Centered Approach to AAPI Mental Health Care, the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF) details the myriad of ways the conventional mental health care system leaves New York City’s Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities behind when it comes to accessing care. Language barriers, a lack of culturally accessible practitioners, and limited options for un- or underinsured patients all contribute to a mental health care landscape that is inaccessible to community members seeking care.
