Every other year, APALA hosts a Biennial Convention that brings together hundreds of organizers, workers, allies and young leaders to demonstrate our collective power as an AAPI community. Through a variety of workshops, plenaries, town halls, we discuss issues pertinent to moving towards economic, social and racial justice.
