Asian Hall of Fame is dedicated to transforming power for the greater good and uplifting those who are the most marginalized. The Trauma Advocacy Initiative advocates legislation to 1) increase workforce development for human trafficking survivors rescued from Pacific ports of entry; 2) amplify recognition for veterans and reverse the Rescission Act of 1946; 3) gun violence prevention; 4) supplement middle school curriculum with Asian and Indigenous history. Previously as a humanitarian group, the Initiative supported the Maui wildfires, delivered 220 pounds of relief packages for Ukrainian refugees, and shipped 25,800 supplies to 71 nursing homes, hospitals, and fire stations who requested assistance.
