🌺📊 NAVIGATING OUR FUTURE 🌺🌊✨️

‼️ For too long, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander communities have been left out of the data — making our 📖 stories, needs, and 💪🏽 strengths invisible in conversations that shape ⚖️ policy, 💲 funding and 🩻 health🩺 outcomes.

That’s why the UCLA Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander Data Policy Lab at the UCLA Center for Health Policy Research has been doing transformative work alongside NHPI communities to close data gaps, strengthen community power, and ensure our people are finally seen in the numbers. 🌴✨

✊🏾 Join us on Thursday, May 28 as the UCLA NHPI Data Policy Lab unveils its NEW & IMPROVED NHPI Social Determinants of Health Dashboard — featuring county-level data that helps tell the story of our communities through:

📍 Demographics
📍 Disability
📍 Economic Indicators
📍 Education
📍 Health
📍 Housing
📍 Veteran Status

📊 Using data from CHIS, the American Community Survey, and the U.S. Census, select topics can also be explored by NHPI subgroup, including:

🌺 CHamorro
🌺 Fijian
🌺 Native Hawaiian
🌺 Samoan
🌺 Tongan

This powerful webinar will also feature community voices in action:

✨ ‘Alisi Tulua, Executive Director of
✨ Luci Latu, Assistant Director of

Together, they’ll share how culturally grounded and accessible data strengthens advocacy, storytelling, funding, planning, and visibility for the communities they serve. 💛

Because data is more than numbers — it is POWER, REPRESENTATION, and the ABILITY TO FIGHT for healthier futures for our people.
