LEAP feels that leaders know the issues. Establishing a critical presence in the public policy arena, LEAP created the Asian and Pacific Islanders Public Policy Institute (PPI) in 1992. LEAP's Public Policy Institute, a crucial source of up-to-date demographic information and policy analysis, has been committed to raising public awareness of the status of Asian and Pacific Islanders (APIs). Producing 10 major policy reports on topics including economic status, immigration, and affirmative action in partnership with the Asian American Studies Center at UCLA, the Institute provides essential data on Asian Pacific communities and establishes a critical voice for APIs in today's policy debates.
To involve more APIs in public policy decision-making, the Institute also initiates community outreach efforts that accompany the release of its reports. LEAP has held roundtables in Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Honolulu, Houston, Miami, Minneapolis/St. Paul, New York, Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington D.C., gathering community leaders to discuss the policy issues impacting the national API community. |
