The UCLA Asian American Studies Center, in partnership with the National Coalition for Asian Pacific American Community Development and the Ford Foundation are pleased to release this special issue of AAPI Nexus Journal, and give voice to the highly diverse and complex AAPI communities’ issues, concerns and priorities in relation to wealth inequality and financial security. The special issue is a collection of papers presenting new insights that can enrich the policy debates on tax policy reform, financial capability, student loans, social security, retirement, housing, small business, and additional asset-building issues, especially how AAPIs relate to other communities of color. More than ever, it is important to include AAPIs in the development of a more inclusive, fair, and comprehensive narrative about racial inequality.
