Asian Americans are part of the racial legacy of this country. That legacy continues to this day with ongoing social, economic, and political inequities. The accomplishments and struggles of the Chinese American community should be widely recognized in order to counter misperceptions of Chinese Americans as perpetual foreigners or model minorities. Chinese Americans have a right and responsibility
to be broadly and actively engaged in public life, based on principles of justice and equity. CBCAC works to ensure fairness, equal and effective access to institutions, and equality before the law for all our constituents, especially for our most vulnerable members. Working with like-minded organizations will strengthen and empower all those in the coalition. CBCAC believes there is strength in diversity and works to reach a consensus among our diverse community. CBCAC believes that it is in the best interest of the Chinese American community to work in collaboration with other communities.
