The Center for Asian Americans in Action uses policy and community building strategies to address anti-Asian violence and discrimination and to strengthen multi-racial partnerships. We work closely with community-based organizations throughout Orange County and the state to improve prevention and victim assistance services and to cultivate safer and more inclusive spaces for all vulnerable community members to thrive.
