Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) communities in California have been disproportionately impacted by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. This session highlights the ways the State of California might work to mitigate the short- and long-term effects of the pandemic for NHPIs and all members of the state's diverse population. Speakers will discuss what funding equity looks like in order to sustain NHPI communitybased organizations throughout the state and the importance of ensuring accessible, free, and reliable translation of materials into NHPI languages for community members interfacing with state government and governmental affiliated agencies.
