THE HERITAGE COLLECTION: AANHPI SCARF

A love letter to designer Faith-Ann Youngs Japanese heritage, this year’s AANHPI month scarf symbolizes resilience, hope, and strength within the Asian- American community and the city of Los Angeles. 

In recognition of AANHPI Month, ACFC would like to highlight the work of Asian American Advancing Justice Southern California (AJSoCal). AJSOCAL is the nation’s largest legal and civil rights organization for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs). Founded in 1983, AJSOCAL supports over 15,000 individuals and organizations annually. By offering free legal help, engaging in impact litigation, and advocating for policy change, AJSOCAL prioritizes the most vulnerable members of AAPI communities while fostering a robust advocacy for civil rights and social justice. 

Asian Americans Advancing Justice Southern California offices are located in downtown Los Angeles and Orange County, with a presence in Sacramento, ensuring accessibility for all.
