The Chinese-American Planning Council, Inc. (CPC) and over 200 community members convened a press conference and rally on the steps of City Hall as part of their 2nd annual CPC City Advocacy Day. CPC called on the Mayoral Administration and the City Council to make critical investments to address the persistent and emerging needs of the Asian American community. CPC’s City Advocacy Day coincides with the start of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month.
CPC staffers then visited with legislative officials from the New York City Council to discuss CPC’s policy agenda, which include funding for community-based outreach for the upcoming 2020 Census, additional resources for language access, and funding the full cost of funding human services in a timely manner that accounts for inflation and cost-of-living increases.
