Photography is one of the most powerful tools for advocacy, where a moment - captured in a fraction of a second - can move people's hearts, change their minds, and stir them to action. Join us for this showcase of up-and-coming Asian Pacific American photojournalists whose works highlight important social justice issues in our local and international community.

This one-day event will support their work, as well as the Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF), the nation's only pan-Asian children and families' advocacy organization. You will have the opportunity to hear from the artists, as well as from Corky Lee, one of the first and most prominent Asian Pacific American photojournalists of the past 30 years.

Wine and light refreshments available. Pieces will also be available for sale. Questions? Email afa.focus@gmail.com
