The Pasifika Village Council is PICA-WA’s commitment to advocate for the unique and diverse health and other wellness policy priority needs of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NH/PI) communities across the state of Washington. We are committed to supporting policies that reduce barriers for NH/PIs to thrive while creating civic education opportunities to cast a wide net to help NH/PIs politicize their values and their voice. 

Our Washington Pasifika Village Council works in partnership with the National NH/PI Policy Council to drive national priorities from the local and state level. We are made up of a broad coalition of trusted NH/PI community-based leaders and organizers who are concerned about the well-being of our NH/PI communities and are galvanized to advance the threefold mission of PICA-WA: advance NH/PI wellness, build community power and nurture cultural home together. Our Pasifika Village Council is dedicated to promoting advocacy, collaboration, and leadership that improves the well-being of NH/PIs.
