AAPI Montclair

We’re proud to partner with organizations across New Jersey working to strengthen civic engagement and representation for our communities for Asian American Advocacy Day 2026!

Join us to speak directly with legislators about our communities’ needs. No experience needed! 🎓 Virtual training is available beforehand so you feel prepared and confident. NJ students in grades 6–12 are also eligible for one state-excused absence to attend a civic event like this.

You’ll get real experience advocating for policy, with opportunities to join a rally, sit in on a voting session, and see how decisions are made.

🗓 Monday, May 18, 2026 | 8:30 AM – 3:00 PM
📍 NJ State House, Trenton
🍽 Breakfast & lunch provided
🚌 Optional transportation available from Montclair
