Our civic engagement and trusted messenger work ensure that community members have access to clear, culturally grounded information on complex and evolving issues—from public health to local development projects such as the Blue Line Extension, housing redevelopment, and transportation planning. LACM serves as a bridge between institutions and the community, ensuring residents are informed, heard, and engaged in decisions that shape their neighborhoods. By supporting residents in navigating public processes, participating in surveys and listening sessions, and advocating for equitable outcomes, we help ensure that AAPI voices—often overlooked or unheard—are meaningfully included in civic life.
