Advancing Pasifika wellness in Washington state and in the US diaspora means that we have to begin to resist the ways that we have accepted the unjust realities as is and instead begin to collectivize our voice, build our civic power, and usher in the world that we would like for our future descendants and our elders to live in. At PICA-WA, we believe that wellness can only be achieved through politicizing our values of love and care and fighting for laws and policies that are humane and just.
Pacific Islander Community Association of WA (PICA-WA) serves as a cultural home, centers community power, and advocates to further the wellness of Pacific Islander communities in Washington State.
