On January 9th, CPC released an analysis on the impact of federal budget cuts on food security for AAPI and Immigrant communities in New York City. The analysis shows that the federal budget passed in July 2025 is already having devastating effects on Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) and immigrant families citywide. These federal decisions are overwhelming food pantries and community providers, even as grocery prices remain high and demand for emergency food continues to surge. We urge state leaders to advance the Protect, Invest, and Expand Food Security Package in this year’s legislative and budget negotiations.
