About Us: The 5th annual Advancing Justice Conference heads to Los Angeles November 14-16 and focuses on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) civil rights for the next generation. Hosted by Asian Americans Advancing Justice, the Advancing Justice Conference is the first and only national conference that focuses on civil rights and social justice in AAPI communities. The conference brings together AAPIs from across the country to address issues facing these fast growing communities. It serves as a unique forum where stakeholders can learn from other community experts, discuss common challenges and opportunities, share best practices and find ways to work collaboratively. Conference attendees participate in three days of programming, including panel discussions, caucus sessions, skills and capacity building trainings and networking receptions.

We look forward to seeing you in 42 days!
