Public Policy and Advocacy
NaFFAA New York advocates within the chambers of power at City Hall and Albany for transformative legislative and fiscal policy to uplift and champion the needs of the Filipino Diaspora, which includes: Immigrant Filipinos & Filipino Americans, Undocumented Filipinos, Migrant Workers, and Low Income, Middle, and Working Class Filipinos.
To shift power back into the hands of the people and uplift the most marginalized Filipinos and Filipino Americans, we must be active in shaping public policies that lay foundations and opportunities of equity that will root mobility, higher qualities of life, and critical investments to positively transform the lives of our people.
