AAPI Data

Two of our very own leaders, Karthick Ramakrishnan and Akil Vohra, attended the White House's recent Diwali reception and represented AAPI Data at a policy briefing. We are grateful for these opportunities to continue to ensure diverse AANHPI voices and communities are uplifted and represented at the highest offices of the country.

Wonderful White House policy briefing (and Diwali reception)! Deep, substantive policy engagement by DPC director Neera Tanden, OSTP director Arati Prabhakar, US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, CFPB director Rohit Chopra, National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi and PPO director Gautam Raghavan. Plus remarks by POTUS that evening. cc Akil Vohra AAPI Data MR Rangaswami Sanjeev Joshipura Indiaspora White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders

In California, Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students report higher rates of bullying relative to their peers from other racial and ethnic groups. And when taken a step further, disaggregated data on anti-AAPI hate and bullying finds that students from certain AAPI subgroups experience even more drastic disparities when it comes to being victims of bullying. We are proud to support the research work of Kevin A. Gee at University of California, Davis to ensure we can better "see" these issues of hate and bullying in schools — and tailor solutions and interventions according to what the data shows.

Disaggregated Data is one of the most powerful and important tools in storytelling, with proper context and nuance, and the advocacy that results when we know who needs help in what way. There are an estimated 24 million Americans of Asian, Pacific Islander, and Native Hawaiian descent. A group this large is not a monolith. And while it’s important and necessary for us to stand under one banner to make sure our collective voices are heard, it does not serve us or the greater society when we are subjected to the pitfalls for a single narrative. Data like this is incredibly important to encourage others to ask their own thoughtful follow up questions when presented with high level data. When we aggregate complex data, the marginalized continue to have their voices and needs minimized and silenced. While it doesn’t exhaustively solve all problems, disaggregated data helps so much is telling the right story. 🤝 The White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in collaboration with AAPI Data has created a 2024 National Overview of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities. This much-needed resource provides timely insights on AA and NHPI population numbers nationally and across states, including on languages spoken and demographic information pertaining to educational attainment, poverty, unemployment, and health insurance coverage. Big up’s to Krystal Kaai, Jamie L., Caroline Goon, Karthick Ramakrishnan, and all the other superheroes behind this crucial study! ✏ We encourage you to learn more about our diverse AA and NHPI communities and view the full fact sheet here: https://lnkd.in/egqyqkd3.

📊 Aggregated data conceals disparities across AA and NHPI communities in education, housing, health, and other areas of everyday life. However, data equity allows for our communities to be seen, heard, and counted! 💻 In our latest blog post, we delve into the importance of data equity for AANHPIs and our ongoing work for the successful implementation of SPD 15. NCAPA and member organizations thank Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus Chair Judy Chu, Senator Mazie K. Hirono, and other CAPAC members for urging the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to take timely action on SPD 15. 📈 NCAPA and our member organizations continue to engage and support OMB and its federal partners. We remain committed to being collaborative partners as agencies plan for and develop agency action plans over the next 12 months. 🔗 Read full blog here: https://lnkd.in/d4h8t9bt AAPI Data, Empowering Pacific Islander Communities (EPIC), Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC), Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC
