| Description | APEN seeks to empower low-income Asian Pacific Islander (API) communities to achieve environmental, social and economic justice. APEN believes that the environment includes everything around us: where we live, work and play. And we strive to build grassroots organizations that will improve the health, well-being and political strength of our communities.
APEN currently works on three levels: Direct Organizing in local communities, building a Network of API organizations and working in Multiracial Alliances to affect regional and national social change.
The direct organizing is at the center of our vision for environmental and social justice. APEN's two local San Francisco Bay Area projects are the 7 year old Laotian Organizing Project (LOP) in Richmond, which also houses the Asian Youth Advocates program for young women, and the recently launched Power in Asians Organizing (PAO) that works with a pan-Asian immigrant community in Oakland.
