CAPAC Chair Statement on President Trump’s Executive Order to Dissolve the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders

I am disappointed that the new Administration decided that it was an important Day 1 priority to dissolve the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders.

The White House Initiative has been critical to connecting Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AA & NHPI) communities to the federal government and has been a bipartisan institution across every administration for the last 25 years.

CAPAC remains committed to working with any administration, from either party, to ensure AA & NHPI communities are engaged in the federal policymaking process and are not left behind.
