On Thursday, November 19th, Lao Assistance Center staff members traveled to California to celebrate the 15 year anniversary of a leading California Asian American community organizing network, APEN. The theme of the evening was " Enter the GREEN Dragon – APIs Winning Environmental Justice in California.”
Over 400 people from across California came to participate and to recognize the accomplishments of the low-income communities they organized. A fun filled evening was held with their many supporters. They addressed the emerging importance of the Asian and Pacific Islander community to issues critical in CA and the US, such as climate change, as well as updating everyone about their current work.
