Prior convenings were held in Honolulu in 2013, San Jose in 2011, Chicago in 2010, Denver in 2008 and Oakland, CA in 2005. In 2014 we will do a series of Regional Summits.
* National Conference - This conference brings together grassroots LGBT AAPI activists from across the nation. Prior national conferences were in Washington, DC (350 attendees) in 2012 and Seattle in 2009 (250 attendees). New York’s 2004 conference (400 attendees) helped lay the groundwork for NQAPIA’s initial convening
* LGBT Immigrants’ Rights - In collaboration with local LGBT AAPI groups, we are spearheading an educational and advocacy campaign on immigrants’ rights that includes local community forums and press conferences featuring immigration advocates and immigrants and a national postcard campaign.
* Multilingual Visibility Campaign - NQAPIA aims to improve the visibility of LGBTs in the mainstream AAPI community and of AAPIs in the broader LGBT community. This multilingual education campaign includes outreach to the Asian ethnic media and educational pieces translated into several Asian languages.
* Capacity Building Resources, Workshops, and Trainings - This includes a descriptive directory of all of the nation’s LGBT AAPI groups, organizational tool kit with best practices and model documents, fiscal sponsorship, and special trainings/workshops.
* Participation in Current Issues - NQAPIA raises the LGBT AAPI voice in current issues and we promote LGBT AAPI engagement. NQAPIA is a member of the National Council of Asian Pacific Americans, the coalition of national AAPI advocacy organizations. Other examples of this work include NCAPA’s national statement in support of LGBT Equality, NQAPIA’s participation in the Equality March on Washington in 2009, the Immigrants’ Rights March on Washington in 2010, Census 2010, and an LGBT Youth Briefing with White House Initiative on AAPIs and Office of Public Engagement in 2011.
