Our Work
2020 Census
ARC campaigned and activated all AAPI communities throughout the state of Colorado to encourage everyone to fill out the 2020 Census.
Action Against Hate
The Action Against Hate campaign (AAH) was created by ARC in 2021 in response to the rise in hate-related crimes and incidents. AAH identified gaps in services for individuals facing barriers such as language, culture, economics, access to resources, and other inequities. Since then, AAH has been providing extensive outreach, law enforcement connections, community education, information, toolkits, and most recently, a mobile APP for reporting incidents to strengthen and empower individuals and communities.
Acts of Kindness
Acts of Kindness was created to support our AAPI partners in their outreach efforts to their local neighbors, schools, and communities.
Projects included an initiative to teach high school students how to build electric bikes which would then be donated to people in need of transportation, local trails clean-up efforts, and cultural festivals.
AAPI Culture Fest
In 2024, in partnership with the The Denver Asian American Pacific Islander Commission (DAAPIC), ARC participated in the creation of the annual Denver AAPI Culture Fest to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month. The 2026 Culture Fest represented 18 different AAPI communities and was attended by 13,000 people who were able to learn about each AAPI culture group through education, cuisine, and entertainment.
“As a member of the Asian Roundtable of Colorado, I’ve experienced the power of bringing diverse Asian communities together through collaboration, respect, and shared purpose. ARC inspires meaningful connections and reminds us that every act of kindness is a powerful response to anti-Asian hate.”

Today, in 2026, we are proud to announce that the construction of the new Sala is nearing completion. This remarkable achievement would not have been possible without the overwhelming support, generosity, and contributions from individuals and families both near and far. Your efforts, and encouragement have helped us not only rebuild a structure but also strengthen the bonds within our community.
