About KAC

The Korean American Coalition (KAC), incorporated as a non-profit organization in 1983, advocates the interests of the Korean American community which currently represents over one million people in the United States. As recent immigrants and members of an ethnic minority group, Korean Americans face many obstacles in their pursuit of full participation in American society. As a bilingual and non-partisan membership organization, KAC addresses these concerns by galvanizing first, second, and third generation Korean Americans into taking action. Members work to educate and empower themselves and the community on civic, legislative, and political issues. Over the course of 18 years, KAC has registered more than 75% of Korean American voters; coordinated forums, seminars, and workshops on legislative, political, and social issues; sponsored over 125 college internships and graduated 600 participants through the leadership conference; and processed more than 15,000 citizenship applications. KAC has continued to develop relations with the media, government agencies, and elected officials. In addition, good relations have been built and maintained with the leaders of other ethnic communities including the Asian/Pacific Islander, African American, Jewish, and Latino communities. The KAC Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and was officially established on August 30, 2004. As the only English speaking Korean American civic organization in the Metroplex, we act as the umbrella organization over all other Korean American organizations.
