Unity March | Join us on June 25

What: NAPABA is a co-sponsor of the Unity March, the first large-scale, Asian American-led march to advance socioeconomic and cultural equity, racial justice, and solidarity.

When: Saturday, June 25, 2022 at 12:00 pm ET

Where: Washington, D.C. on the National Mall

Why: The Unity March recognizes that systemic biases have affected many of our communities throughout history, we has a slate of goals and programs to advance: 

• Full participation in democracy - access to voting, citizenship, and civic power for immigrants and communities of color 
• Racial and Economic Justice - investing in workers, small businesses, entrepreneurs of color, and women. 
• Cultural Equity and Media Representation - ensuring our stories are told by cultural and educational institutions and leaders. 

How You Can Volunteer:

The Unity March is seeking volunteers to serve as rally marshals for the event to ensure everyone’s rights are respected. Rally marshals are responsible for monitoring crowds, reporting any disturbances, directing attendees, and helping ensure the health and safety for all.

By signing up for the NAPABA Community Service Corps, a new platform for NAPABA members to take action for impact locally and nationally, you can register for the march as an attendee or a volunteer, and view our other opportunities to be part of a national infrastructure of trained members committed to being AANHPI lawyers in action.
