      FilAm Alerts Launch Reception<\/strong>\u00a0– AT&T Forum at 12:30-3:30 PM EST<\/p>\n

      In partnership with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), NaFFAA has created the FilAmAlerts Program to increase coordination of Filipino Americans to more efficiently respond to natural disasters and humanitarian needs in the Philippines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      There is a significant opportunity to improve our collective national response to providing resources and support when crises occur. Since 2020, NaFFAA and IOM have initiated exploratory investigations and research to formulate a Filipino-American disaster response program. Through this work, the FilAmAlerts Program overcomes the most difficult challenges that our Fil-Ams experience when organizing relief efforts to the Philippines, by providing custom tools for coordination. We took into consideration geographic challenges in communication and relief distribution, accountability for charitable contributions and transparency, the lack of primary source information to FilAms from the Philippines, and other logistical challenges in humanitarian relief and response particularly considering the culture of community leadership in the USA and generational perspectives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      This gathering will officially launch the FilAm Alerts website and recruitment for the Humanitarian Council. The Humanitarian Council will be composed of disaster relief stakeholders that can utilize their positions as an amplifier when there is a trigger of need.<\/p>\n

      FilAmVote National Webinar for Filipino American History Month<\/b><\/p>\n

      In celebration of Filipino American History Month, the National Federation of Filipino American Associations (NaFFAA) will host a national webinar on Saturday, October 15th at 8:30 AM PST \/ 11:30 AM EST for its FilAmVote program in advance of the midterm elections. This non-partisan event will feature national leaders who have dedicated their service in ensuring a civically engaged Filipino American electorate. In partnership with APIAVote, we will also highlight the findings of what matters for Filipino voters from the \u201c2022 Asian American Survey\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

      According to AAPI Data, the Filipino community had the lowest voter turnout rate amongst other Asian American ethnicities in 2020. Given that FilAms account for the third largest AAPI demographic in the United States, ensuring our vote is heard is of critical importance in ensuring that Filipino equities are heard in all levels of government.<\/p>\n
