According to the Migration Policy Institute, there are an estimated 21,000 unauthorized immigrants currently residing in Hawai’i, 49% of which are from the Philippines. Despite the numbers, Filipino and other ethnic communities refuse to acknowledge the reality of our TnT. It is time to face this issue head on and have the conversation so that we can begin to build bridges and create unity through diversity. The Aloha DREAM Team will facilitate this interactive workshop that will feature film, facts, activities and discussion.

AAPI communities are faced daily with issues like: Education, Mental Health, Pathways to Public Service and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). This workshop will briefly discuss the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders E3! Ambassador Program. We will engage in discussions and brainstorm ideas on how we can combat the critical issues previously mentioned within our local communities and on a national scale.
