APIs CAN - Asian Pacific Islanders Civic Action Network

Pouring the tea and building community with APIs CAN 2026 Pour the Tea! 🫖🥳

On June 19th, we hosted our annual Pour the Tea event, a 3-day AAPI storytelling and action workshop. Together, we learned how to craft our stories, change narratives, and learn how to use these skills to advocate for our communities. We were able to celebrate and acknowledge AAPI voices and our rich narratives.

Keep an eye out for the next APIs CAN Pour the Tea cohort application! 🙌

Thank you to MEM Tea Rubato food Mei Mei Dumplings Fresh Food Generation Cathedral Church of St Paul, and to all the Pour the Tea participants for making this event memorable! 💚

This May, your coffee can make a difference ☕

Community is built in the spaces where we gather—and over something as simple as a cup of coffee. This AAPI Heritage Month, we’re proud to partner with and to celebrate culture, connection, and community.

Stop by Lê Madeline and order a Legacy coffee—proceeds will support Asian Pacific Islanders Civic Action Network and our work advancing equity for AAPI communities across Massachusetts.

Small action, real impact. 💛
