The Center for the Pacific Asian Family is a non profit organization that seeks to prevent and end domestic violence within the API community, which has some of the most common cases, but are the least vocal about it. This shouldn’t be happening.

CPAF is now part of a major Chase Community Giving Contest on Facebook, and having soared through the first round, is currently in the running for a $1 million grant. Over 100 members of the API creative community agreed to appear in a series of videos supporting Center for the Pacific Asian Family. Shot by an entirely volunteer crew, they dedicate these videos to the victims of domestic violence and sexual assault, their families. Please vote: it only takes a couple of seconds, but with a couple of clicks on a website you probably already use, could bring huge resources for a non-profit benefiting both the Asian American community and victims of domestic violence.

[...] I have been supporting the Center for the Pacific Asian Family (CPAF) in this campaign, since I feel that their “big idea” has the greatest potential for immediate impact on those who are living in Los Angeles, right now. CPAF was founded to help address domestic violence and sexual assault in the Asian and Pacific Islander communities. Up to 60% of Asian and Pacific American women experience domestic or sexual abuse in their lifetime, and are the least likely to report the abuse. Since the economic downturn in 2008, domestic violence has been on the rise. With cutbacks in state funding, non-profits like CPAF are forced to turn away more callers trying to flee a violent home.
