Help Us Achieve our Mission

PICA-WA is supporting our Pacific Islander communities in King, Pierce, Thurston, Snohomish, Eastern & Southwest Washington to stand up our defense against COVID-19 and other health and socio-economic disparities plaguing our communities. Your donation will go far to help us with our community advocacy work. Along with providing PPE supplies, weekly food distribution, wellness navigation, youth advocacy, we also provide leadership in co-designing interventions with systems partners to drive local and state policy that center NHPI community voices, power and solutions.

The Pacific Islander Community Association of WA is seeking your partnership for us to accomplish some major feats in our workplan for 2021. We will continue to provide political advocacy in identifying our policy priorities and elevate these with lawmakers in the State of Washington. We will provide antiracist leadership development and training opportunity for NHPI community members in helping them actualize their power as agents of change and standing up our collective NHPI voice and networks.

“E fofo le alamea le alamea” – “spiny starfish contains both injury and remedy” Our communities have the inherent ability to heal ourselves.
