AAPI Victory Power Fund Celebrates the Voices of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Women at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.


The AAPI Victory Power Fund hosted the sold-out AANHPI Women's Celebration on May 10th at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. This night showcased the exceptional achievements of AANHPI women who have made significant contributions in fields such as public service, activism, and the arts.

The AANHPI Women's Celebration was a poignant tribute to the changemakers, thought leaders, and elected officials within the AANHPI community who have tirelessly worked towards progress and empowerment. "Being surrounded by so many powerful and inspiring AANHPI women is such a privilege," expressed Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal.

"I'm thrilled to be here to celebrate both how far we've come, and to recommit ourselves to that most basic principle our country was founded upon: that we never stop working to bring about a more perfect tomorrow, where justice and equality is a reality for all." said Senator Tammy Duckworth.
