We are a non-profit organization by Pasifika, for Pasifika that seeks to live out the indigenous values of Pasifika (NH/PI) communities here in Washington State through community organizing, and speaking our truth fiercely to systems of power, while providing social supports and cultural spaces for the community to gather in dignity.
Our mission is threefold: establish a cultural home, center community power, and further the wellness of our communities physically, culturally, socially and spiritually. Pasifika communities of Washington are a resilient community and while it has had to endure struggles in combating systematic erasure, Pasifika people will continue to rise!
Pacific Islander Community Association of WA (PICA-WA) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization operating across Duwamish, Muckleshoot, Snohomish, Chinook, Cowlitz and Spokane tribal lands in Washington State. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the traditional stewards who never ceded these territories.
We will be back to normal operation hours on Monday, May 15th. Thank you for understanding!
