🥫 On May 9th, Thai CDC did our part to "Stamp Out Hunger" by participating in the annual National Association of Letter Carriers Stamp Out Hunger event.

There were 20 volunteers altogether between the LDS church and Thai CDC helping sort and bag nonperishable food that the letter carriers brought back to the post office.

Through an amazing day of service, we rose to the opportunity to step into our communities—to listen, to lift, and to build genuine relationships. We uplift our own communities! Upwards and Onwards!

This AANHPI Heritage Month, AADAP proudly honors and celebrates Thai Community Development Center (@ThaiCDC), an organization that continues to empower and uplift Thai and Southeast Asian communities across Los Angeles.

We are so proud to have Thai CDC as part of our AADAP ohana. During a critical transition period, we provided operational assistance to the organization, cultivating a path for Thai CDC to expand its programs and deepen impact. By 1996, Thai CDC established itself independently and continued growing through advocacy, community development, housing, immigrant services, and cultural preservation efforts.

Today, Thai CDC remains a vital leader and advocate for immigrant and underserved communities. We are proud to recognize their lasting impact and shared commitment to empowering AANHPI communities.

On April 13, we co-organized California’s First Policy Forum on the Culture Global Stocktake as part of #LAClimateWeek2026 🌇🌱

Artists, designers, cultural producers, community organizers, consultants and academics gathered at the Thai Community Development Center (Thai CDC) for a half a day of productive conversations, real policy work and an abundant selection of vegetarian/vegan fare.

Following the delivery of the first public draft of the Culture Global Stocktake for Climate Action, this forum brought together Angelenos to collectively assess policy gaps, stress-test emerging recommendations while aligning on pathways to embed culture across mitigation, adaptation, Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) and climate finance agendas.

The room engaged with ideas surrounding funding, industry accountability, green space, indigenous wisdom, storytelling and community repair with intersectional themes such as:
✧ Artist stipend models and multi-year community funding
✧ Nature access as mental-health infrastructure
✧ Joy, play and cultural belonging as tools for climate resilience
✧ In LA, younger generations, industry transformations and community spaces offer hope

Thank you to everyone who participated, contributing their knowledge, tools and lived experience to this collective process ✌️

Organized by @creativemigration @entertainmentculturepavilion @laclimateweek. Hosted by @thaicdc. Special thanks to our food & beverage sponsors @cafetropicalsunset @plantbasedtreaty @liquiddeath!

On May 1st, Thai CDC joined thousands as we filled the streets of LA with chants, signs, and resistance. From MacArthur Park to Grand Park, workers, immigrants, families, students, faith leaders, and allies marched together and showed the world what people power looks like. ✊🏽
