Coalition for Asian American Children and Families

CACF is the nation’s only pan-Asian children and families’ advocacy organization.

[Coalition for Asian American Children and Families @cacf]

CACF is proud to be a co-leader of Access Health NYC.

Support from the @nyccouncil-funded initiative enables community-based organizations from across the five boroughs to get accurate and much needed healthcare resources to the community members that need it the most.

Be sure to read this timely op-ed by Dr. Stella Yi.

We agree — disaggregated data and multilingual studies are needed to get a true picture of the health needs of Asian American women.

[Population Health @pophealthNYC]

New @WomensHealthMag op-ed by Dr. Yi explains why the “model minority” myth leaves Asian American women overlooked by medicine, research, & public health. Aggregated data, English-only studies, & harmful stereotypes hide real disparities across communities https://t.co/lzsKRVgyZq

Government efficiency includes knowing who the government is serving and data disaggregation plays a key role in that understanding. We expect CBOs to play a critical role in the robust public process for proposals. 3/3

CACF is excited to learn about the creation of the Commission on Government Efficiency. We thank the @NYCMayor for prioritizing modernization of City government. Congratulations to our board member, Kapil Longani on being appointed to the Commission. 1/3

[Coalition for Asian American Children and Families @cacf]

CACF will be holding the commission accountable to shaping a NYC Charter that prioritizes efficiency of government contracts, culturally responsive and language accessible services. 2/3

[Asian American Federation @AAFederation]

After months of dedicated advocacy co-led by @cacf and AAF, we're excited to announce that the Equity Budget Coalition has secured $30 million dollars for AAPI communities in this year's New York State Budget!

BREAKING: 100+ NY groups send @GovKathyHochul, @AndreaSCousins, and Speaker Heastie an open letter calling for their urgent support to preserve 500,000 New Yorkers' health coverage through the implementation of HR 1.

📲 Call them today: https://t.co/Tc1oBfYcMg

[Coalition for Asian American Children and Families @cacf]

CACF is proud to have led the coalition behind this letter to Majority Leader @AndreaSCousins and Speaker Heastie.

This budget cannot be balanced on the backs of the most vulnerable New Yorkers.

Thank you, @JosieStratman and @NYDailyNews for covering!

Nonprofits push NY state lawmakers to ‘stand strong’ on tax hikes for wealthy https://t.co/T71QTs6ZnZ

[Community Service Society of New York (CSS) @CSSNYorg]

April Fools? Unfortunately, no.

450,000 New Yorkers will be notified TODAY that their Essential Plan coverage ends starting July 1st. This is no laughing matter.

Call upon the Governor and the Legislature to protect access to health insurance: https://t.co/6aEX9tnYXe

[Medicaid Matters New York @MedicaidMtrsNY]

Proud to stand with legislators and colleagues to push for coverage fixes for the 1/2 million people set to lose coverage by 7/1. @CHCANYS @hcfany @NYSenatorRivera @AmyPaulin @MaketheRoadNY

[Coalition for Asian American Children and Families @cacf]

This isn’t a punchline:

450,000 New Yorkers will soon lose their health coverage. We’re joining our partners at HCFANY (@healthcareforall_ny) to call upon the Governor (@govkathyhochul) and the Legislature to protect access to health insurance access.

[Coalition for Asian American Children and Families @cacf]

That’s why our coalition is urging Speaker Julie Menin (@speakermenin) and City Council to enhance Access Health NYC’s funding to $4.5 million next year!

[Coalition for Asian American Children and Families @cacf]

It was wonderful to see the incredible work of the @nycitycouncil-funded Access Health NYC initiative highlighted in City Limits (@citylimitsnews)!

[City Limits @CityLimitsNews]

When it comes to Health Department inspections of city restaurants, the auditors found that 40 percent of the business owners their office surveyed didn’t know they had the right to ask for a language interpreter during the process. via @dparramejia: https://t.co/LxWjyMQmra

[Coalition for Asian American Children and Families @cacf]

The nonprofits that are part of Access Health NYC are the first place so many of our immigrant neighbors turn when they need help navigating the medical system.

[Coalition for Asian American Children and Families @cacf]

New York State has less than two weeks to protect health coverage for the 480,000 New Yorkers set to lose coverage this year!

Governor Hochul, Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins, and Speaker Heastie MUST protect access to health coverage.
