A Day at the Capital
The Vietnamese of MN and members of the community were present at the API Day at the Capitol, which was designed to bring together Minnesotans of Asian and Pacific Islander (API) descent to rally together, increase their knowledge of the state policymaking process, and directly connect with legislators about the issues that matter most to them. Our attendance was made known to other communities and their leaders.
