2026 Legislative Session Recap

You are invited to join the Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotans for our 2026 Session Recap Event on Saturday, June 27, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the Minnesota Humanities Center, 987 Ivy Ave E, St. Paul, MN 55106. Light refreshments will be served.
 
The program will begin with a 45-minute presentation on the state of Asian Pacific Minnesotans (APMs) by the Minnesota State Demographer, where community members will be able to ask questions about the economic, health, and other demographic status of APMs. Following this presentation, the Council will host two panel discussions: one with legislative leaders focused on the outcomes from the 2026 legislative session, and a second featuring Council leadership to discuss our work and how we can best support and advocate on behalf of our communities as we look ahead to the fall midterm elections and the 2027 budget year.
 
While an RSVP is not required to attend the event, space will be limited and you are strongly encouraged to RSVP by submitting this form.
