Southern California Pacific Islander Community Response Team (SoCal PICRT)

The Southern California Pacific Islander Community Response Team (SoCal PICRT) is a coalition of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community-based organizations and advocates providing much-needed resources and information to our communities in the the cities and counties across Southern California, as well as vital direct services to our Los Angeles County families.

Our mission is to weave a thriving network of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community-based organizations to holistically support and advocate for the well-being and sustainability of Southern California NHPI communities. We envision a physically, mentally, and spiritually abundant Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander community that finds grounding in our Pasifika roots, celebrates our diverse identities, and collectively supports every individual in reaching their full potential.

We advance our mission by providing a forum for meaningful connections, helping build organizational capacity, curating funding and culturally relevant resources, increasing NHPI visibility and representation, and amplifying the advocacy efforts of our Community Based Organization partners.
