Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, San Francisco!

This month we’re honoring the cultures, history, diversity, and strengths of Asian, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities in San Francisco.

OCEIA participated in several community events this weekend! We are so thankful the opportunities to get to engage with San Franciscans across the city! A special shoutout to the @sfpubliclibrary, ArtWalkSF, and Mission Neighborhood Resource Center for inviting us to participate!

We're excited to see more people qualify for a reduced naturalization fee. Naturalization is becoming more accessible to our communities, so don't wait now #NaturalizeNow !

As we close out #ArabAmericanHeritageMonth , we recognize that Arab Americans often face higher rates of prejudice and xenophobia. Yet, their perseverance continues to shine through. We stand united with our Arab neighbors against hate and discrimination.

The OCEIA Community Ambassadors Program (CAP) teams conduct regular wellness checks on individuals in public spaces.

We link community members to available social and health services, or offer a safety escort when needed.

Regardless of political divisions, there's broad consensus: a recent Gallup poll found 68% of Americans see immigration as a good thing. It's time to move beyond divisiveness and get to work building a more functional, fair immigration system. #ImmigrationReformCantWait
