Korean Americans for Civic Participation (KACP) is a coalition of Korean American organizations in the greater Philadelphia area that seeks to empower the Korean American community through education, leadership development and civic engagement.
KACP is a strong coalition consisting of:
● The Korean American Association of Greater Philadelphia (KAAGP)
● The Korean Community Development Services Center (KCDSC)
● The Korean Women’s Center (KWC) &
● The Woori Center (formerly Korean American Community Center, KACC)
In just a few years, we have already made a large impact on civic engagement in our community. We have set even higher goals for the 2020 elections to educate and empower Korean Americans in the greater Philadelphia area and beyond. We will conduct phone banking, door to door canvassing, hold voter education workshops, register voters, distribute in-language voters guides, and more. Let’s continue to make huge strides and lead us to a better tomorrow!
KACP will hold How to Vote educational sessions to train members what they need to know before they vote.
We will help new voters complete their registration forms so they can vote in the 2019 election!
KACP will translate and distribute a guide to inform voters about the candidates and issues for the election.
● By 2040, one in every ten Americans will be AAPI.
● AAPIs are one of the fastest growing electorates with the number of voters doubling to almost 12 million by 2040.
● Overall Asian American community civic participation in the greater Philadelphia area is increasing; between 2004 and 2012, the number of Asian Americans who voted in Pennsylvania increased 35%.
