DATA AND SURVEYS

CAUSE collaborated on reports and polls that shed light on a range of local experiences, including voter access, data equity, and broad community perspectives in Southern California. With resources such as the Asian American Voter Access in Los Angeles County report, Invisibility Is Killing Us, and the Multiethnic Statewide Community Poll, CAUSE shares select findings relevant to civic participation and engagement. These materials are designed to serve as references for those interested in understanding community trends and opportunities.

 

ASIAN AMERICAN VOTER ACCESS IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY

This report study offers insight into what Asian American experiences are like when they cast a ballot in Los Angeles and the extent to which they find services to ease voting useful. 

The Asian American Voter Experience Survey was produced through the partnership of CAUSE, University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Asian American Studies Center and Loyola Mount University (LMU).

 

INVISIBILITY IS KILLING US

Invisibility is Killing Us summarizes Pacific Islander and Asian American experiences with California county public health departments’ collection and reporting of public health data. 

The report was conducted by the Southern California Pacific Islander and Asian American Data Equity and Health Policy Collaborative with CAUSE as a community partner. The report was made possible through the support of the U.S. DHHS/Office of Minority Health, Orange County Asian and Pacific Islander Taskforce, and UC Irvine Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health.

 

Multiethnic Statewide Community Poll

In 2020, CAUSE launched a historic initiative to partner with Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE) and Los Angeles Urban League (LAUL), in consultation with the Los Angeles Times. The partnership’s unprecedented multiethnic statewide community poll series provides data-driven insight into California’s most prominent ethnic communities. The goal of the initiative is to bring diverse communities together for a series of public, cross-cultural dialogues that increase understanding and collaboration among communities of color.
