In 2023, we partnered with the Reimagine Collective to support a comprehensive survey of scholarly literature and other public sources that have examined the heterogeneous civic experiences of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders in the United States. Building on this research, in 2024 we supported a partnership between North Carolina Asian Americans Together (NCAAT), a non-partisan base-building organization in the state, and Nancy Zdunkewicz from Z to A Research to better understand the complexity of values and identities that exists within the Asian American community in the state. On March 24th, 2025, we discussed new and important insights from this research and heard from NCAAT about how they are implementing this learning in their organizing and civic engagement program.
