Today we launched “Not to Be Left Behind,” a new report elevating the voices of Massachusetts nail salon workers and owners: a close-knit community facing rising costs and shrinking support. 🧵 #NotToBeLeft
“Bettering the conditions within the nail salon industry doesn’t just benefit owners and workers, it actually benefits consumers who are also going into those businesses,” @AARWboston Kevin Lam said. Read the coverage from [@GBH ]’s Magdiela Matta: wgbh.org/news/local/2026-10-…
Join us TONIGHT, 6–8 p.m., at the Vietnamese American Community Center, 42 Charles St., Dorchester. Full report: massapiscan.org/nail-salon-r…

For AANHPI Heritage Month, we’re highlighting the first-ever statewide Massachusetts APIA Community Survey.
This landmark report—created with a broad coalition of partners (tagged below)—centers AAPI voices across MA and challenges the “wealthy AAPI” narrative with real data.
Key stat: 30% of AAPI residents struggle with housing costs.
APIs CAN continues to center housing justice in our policy agenda. Data like this is essential to driving change.
