MISSION, VALUES, VISION & NETWORK
MISSION
MoCoPAAN’s mission is to raise the visibility of Asian Americans, to collectivize and lift up progressive voices, and to offer allyship through strategic communications.
In doing so, we wish to demonstrate that Asian Americans have a multitude of voices.
We speak up on issues that affect people of diverse backgrounds: representation, equity and inclusion; immigrant rights; and, racial discrimination and profiling.

VISION
MoCoPAAN envisions a county where Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, their diversity, challenges and needs, are better understood and addressed.
As active stakeholders in advancing racial equity and social justice, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders,
will foster a robust and inclusive community with increased accessibility and resources.
