The organizers of the Cambridge-Somerville Asian Festival are a collaboration between the Cambridge Families of Asian Descent (CFAD), Somerville Asian Families Network (SAFN), Pan Asian Club at CRLS (PAC), Dear Asian Youth (DAY) Club at Somerville High School, Arlington High School Asian Coalition, and Asian Educators Resource Groups (Asian ERG), rallying together the voices of Cambridge families, students and educators. Collectively, we bring event management experience in several different spheres, including television production, community advocacy and education.
CFAD is a group of Cambridge parents/caregivers of East Asian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and multi-racial Asian heritage centered on forming social connections and advocating around increasing visibility of Asian-Americans in the school curriculum and community.
SAFN is a group of Somerville families with children of Asian descent. Our mission is to develop social connections, amplify marginalized voices in our community, and advocate for increased Asian and Asian American visibility in the Somerville Public School curriculum.
