Wishing Health & Prosperity with Health Care Coverage: NAPAWF Advocacy Day

Tue, 01/24/2012 - 09:46

The New Year is a time for family, as an Asian American I am lucky enough to have two new years to celebrate. This year I celebrated Lunar New Year with over 50 sisters from across the country at the White House. My sisters and I are a part of National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum (NAPAWF). NAPAWF is the only multi-issue AAPI women's organization intent on building the grassroots movement to advance social justice and human rights for API women and girls.
