8 Town Hall Meetings Early in 2018 we organized a series of local community-wide town halls of LGBTQ APIs called Movement Convergences to come together, explore new priority issues and needs. This was done in the following 8 cities where NQAPIA has a large concentrations of member groups: New York, Washington DC, Seattle, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Atlanta, and Houston. From these we identified 2 new program areas and campaigns: Health & Healing Justice and The Rise of the Right in LGBT API Communities. National Conference with 698 attendeesThen in July, NQAPIA hosted our triennial national conference of LGBT APIs in San Francisco. And unprecedented 698 people attended. The goals of the conference were to network, organize, train, educate, and build capacity of the nations LGBT API community. There were special convenings and programming clusters for youth, international activists from China, Japan, Vietnam and South Asia, parents, religious leaders, and organizers, among others. Transgender Protections NQAPIA launched an extensive campaign to educate Asian American voters across Massachusetts on transgender equality to fight a referendum vote to repeal a state law that protects transgender people from discrimination in public places (such as restaurants, shops, and hospitals). (1) mobilized 30 LGBT APIs with our member groups in New England and deploying 5 staff to Boston run a voter turnout GOTV drive (2) translated campaign materials to reach Chinese, Vietnamese, and Khmer-speaking voters that reached 15,6111 voters, (3) ran bilingual community workshops to build understanding, featuring Asian parents of transgender kids to tell their stories of love and acceptance. It was highly successful. Asian Americans were a decisive voting bloc where 84% of Asian Americans voted to uphold trans rights, only 16% were opposed. Overall, 68% of all Massachusetts voters supported transgender protections, and 32% voted no. Voter Registration, Education, Turnout NQAPIA developed and disseminated region-specific voter guides focused on key races and issues facing the API community. We translated the guides into several Asian languages, to make sure they were accessible by all segments of our broader API community.Specifically, we focused on U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races in 10 states, based on NQAPIAs local reach and the closeness of the races in -- Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas, New York, and California. We then translated each voter guide into Chinese, Korean, Hindi, and Vietnamese. Finally, we disseminated our voter guides via targeted, direct paper mailings, as well as via digital outreach and engagement through social media and networking apps. Our total reach was 18,844 people. Strategic PlanningWe are developing new 3-5 year strategic plan, collectivity vision our future work, and get commitments for grassroots activists to join us. It will be released in 2019.
