Korean American Coalition

The Korean American Coalition – Los Angeles (KAC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1983 to promote the civic and civil rights interests of the Korean American community. KAC endeavors to achieve these goals through education, community organizing, leadership development, and coalition-building with diverse communities.

Civic Engagement & Advocacy

KAC works in conjunction with government agencies and community organizations to promote civic engagement. By removing systemic and linguistic barriers, KAC serves to enhance access and representation for the Korean American community.

Supporting AAPI communities is more crucial now than ever. That’s why we’ve joined the historic #GiveinMay campaign, to raise awareness and funds for AAPI nonprofits. #APAHM

OUR PROGRAMS

KAC has worked tirelessly to promote the civil rights interests of Korean Americans for over 33 years. Our programs work to help our local communities and foster rising generations of business professionals, community advocates, students and civic leaders. The Korean American Coalition has advocated on behalf of the community since our establishment in 1983 and we continue to work on issues concerning civil rights and civic participation.

Alternative Dispute Resolution Center

The KAC Alternative Dispute Resolution Center (4.29 Center) was founded in 1997 in response to the ethnic upheaval that devastated parts of Los Angeles during the 1992 Los Angeles Riots. Special focus is placed on working with the diverse ethnic populations of Los Angeles County, which keeps cases out of California’s overloaded court system.

The ADR Center strives to provide efficient and culturally appropriate means of resolving disputes. Our mediators have successfully closed over a thousand cases in the past decade.

Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are seeing an alarming rise in hate crimes and hate incidents against the Asian community. 9,081 incidents were reported to Stop AAPI Hate – a large portion occurring throughout Southern California.*

It is now more important than ever to be informed and educated in the event as this could happen to you, your friends or your loved ones.

What is a hate crime? How can we help and protect each other?What can we do when it happens? Why is it important to report?

All these questions and more are answered by KAC’s two guests: the Deputy District Attorney of LA County and LAPD Officer Orlando Martinez.
