Civic Engagement and Advocacy

 

Our goal is to amplify our community’s voices through civic engagement and advocacy.

Get Out the Vote

Each election year, we ensure Chinatown’s voices are heard through voter registration, education, and advocacy. We overcome language and technology barriers to make sure each citizen can make an informed vote!

Redistricting

Every 10 years after the Census, the redistricting process redraws the political boundaries of local and state areas. CBCAC did this in 2010, and in 2021, we are focusing on creating a map that equitably represents our community.

Chinatown Development

Advisory Committee

CDAC works to ensure the Chinatown community has the right to stay, the culture is preserved, and the voices are included in future developments. We work towards providing resources, education, and advocacy.

High School Advocacy

For many years, CBCAC has advocated for a Near Southside Neighborhood High School. Currently, there is no nearby high school for our students to go to, resulting in long commute times. The Education Committee, led by Karen Chiu, Executive Director of Project Vision, is working diligently to continue this project.
