Dear Supporter,

We're writing to remind you that there's still time to sponsor or purchase tickets for our upcoming Joint Anniversary Virtual Gala with our national organization NAKASEC! Final day is Friday, November 11th!

The MinKwon Center has done extraordinary work this past year. Here are 6 reasons why you should consider making a donation!

Sponsor & Purchase Tickets by Nov. 11th!
Reason #1: We've helped over 2,500 undocumented and limited English proficient immigrant families secure over $6.5 million worth of direct cash assistance. Through this process, we were able to publish one of the largest scale studies of undocumented Koreans in the country, shedding light to the realities and hardships faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Sponsor & Purchase Tickets by Nov. 11th!
Reason #2: We've launched our Hate Free Zone earlier this year to engage local community members and stakeholders in the Greater Flushing Area around the rise in anti-Asian and anti-immigrant violence, but more broadly all forms of hate and bigotry.

As a principle in our approach, we brought together different ethnic and racial groups in Flushing to identify common problems that can foster unity, healing, and deepen working relationships with one another. As a result, we were instrumental in launching the Flushing Food Collaborative, a multi-racial and multi-ethnic coalition to address the ongoing food insecurity crisis in Flushing.

Reason #3: We've worked with over 200 AAPI and local young people to develop their social consciousness and grassroots organizing skills.

This year is also special, as the MinKwon Center have taken the formal and proactive steps towards fostering a safe space of LBGTGIA+ youth, being the first intergenerational Korean American organization in NYC to do so.

Reason #4: For the first time in MinKwon's history, with the support of our national organization NAKASEC, we've established a second site in Palisades Park, New Jersey! We hope to serve, organize, and empower the NJ Korean American immigrant community for years to come!

Sponsor & Purchase Tickets by Nov. 11th!

Reason #5: Despite a tough political climate, MinKwon community members and organizers continued to be in the forefront of advocating for immigrant rights, including pushing for the implementation of Our City Our Vote, protecting DACA, and expanding protections and healthcare rights for immigrants in NY.

Sponsor & Purchase Tickets by Nov. 11th!
Reason #6: As a leader and convenor of the APA VOICE Coalition, we're on track to contacting 4,000 Asian and immigrant voters via door-knocking, and making over 100,000 phone calls and texts to Get out the Vote by General Election Day!
