Advocate with FilAm organizations statewide.
Join the FIERCE Coalition’s virtual Filipinx Advocacy Day on Wednesday, April 28 from 8AM-2PM (PST) with FilAm organizations from across California to speak directly with state legislators on Police Accountability in calls for Justice for Angelo Quinto and the many victims of police violence.
Since 2018, the Filipinx Igniting Engagement for Reimagining Collective Empowerment (FIERCE) Coalition has advocated for Ethnic Studies, Tenant Protections, and Racial Equity at the state level. Past legislative priorities included AB 331, AB 1481, and AB 1482.
An assembly of 25+ FilAm nonprofits, community-based organizations, and student groups, the FIERCE Coalition advances a progressive agenda that amplifies the FilAm voice in broader calls for racial justice and equity.
