The Asian American Unity Coalition (AAUC) is set to host the much-anticipated 2025 Unity Summit on September 16 and 17 in Washington, D.C. The event, themed “Building Solidarity,” will bring together hundreds of leaders, advocates, and changemakers from across the nation. According to New India Abroad, the summit serves as a cornerstone for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities to unite through policy dialogue, cultural celebration, and collective action.

This year’s program will highlight pressing issues such as civil rights, economic equity, religious freedom, mental health, political participation, and the impact of recent executive orders. As reported by New India Abroad, the sessions are designed to amplify AANHPI voices in the national narrative—especially as the country approaches the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

The summit will also honor notable figures, including Rep. Gene Wu with the Dalip Singh Saund Award, Ambassador M. Osman Siddique with the Norman Mineta Award, and philanthropists Dr. Ellen Qiong Schicktanz and Dr. Surinder Sehgal. Youth leaders Oorja Manot, Akhil Venkatesh, and Adam Zhang will also be recognized for their contributions.

Keynote speakers will include Anil Sharma, CEO of 22nd Century Technologies, and serial entrepreneur Sandy Chau. The summit will close with a Congressional Reception and awards ceremony.

AAUC leaders, including Board Chair Dr. SK Lo and President Angela Anand, emphasized that the event is not just a gathering but a movement for empowerment and unity. As highlighted by New India Abroad, the 2025 Summit will also introduce two new resources—AAUC’s HUB, a centralized data platform, and the Asian American News Portal, a biweekly digest amplifying community stories.
