The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights is a diverse coalition of more than 240 organizations representing the majority of America. As some try to pit us against each other, We the Majority know that everyone benefits from one another's liberation. Together, we use our collective power to protect our multiracial democracy and expand the rights of all people during this era of unprecedented threats to our progress. We won’t go backwards. Born out of the Civil Rights Movement 75 years ago, The Leadership Conference has been an essential convener, thought leader, and advocate for public policies that make our country more fair and free. The Leadership Conference is a 501(c)(4) organization that engages in legislative advocacy. It was founded in 1950 and has coordinated national lobbying efforts on behalf of every major civil rights law since 1957.

NAPAWF is the only organization focused on building power with AAPI women and girls to influence critical decisions that affect our lives, our families and our communities. Using a reproductive justice framework, we elevate AAPI women and girls to impact policy and drive systemic change in the United States. NAPAWF was founded in 1996 to realize the vision of 100 AAPI women who recognized the need for an organization that would amplify AAPI women’s stories and experiences. Being seen and heard in the public narrative gives us the power to shape the policy and cultural change needed to gain agency over our lives, families, and communities. Today, we are mobilizing and building power in 11 cities across the United States to create social, political, and economic change for AAPI women and girls. We also show up in solidarity for other women of color who are experiencing injustice and harms of oppression and marginalization.

Equity in power, opportunities, and resources to address obstacles hindering vulnerable communities and groups from living the healthiest lives. MISSION The Asian & Pacific Islander American Health Forum (APIAHF) influences policy, mobilizes communities, and strengthens programs and organizations to improve the health of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders.
