Babak estimated that as many as 40,000 to 50,000 Afghan individuals live in Sacramento County, which he said was among the largest groups in any part of the U.S. Official census data show closer to 20,000 Afghans in Sacramento County, though Babak said that number is likely underrepresented for various reasons.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>Local elected officials hear Afghan voices<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>To help change negative perceptions of Afghan immigrants and help the community receive support and resources, Babak and other community leaders said it is important to engage with local leaders.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Because of the high concentration of Afghan individuals in Sacramento, Babak and other leaders partnered with the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs to host what they called an Afghan listening session Saturday afternoon in Old North Sacramento.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The listening session involved the attendees splitting into groups to discuss problems facing the Afghan community in the U.S. as well as potential solutions, followed by a report back to the whole group. The event also featured Afghan food, a tour of local Afghan businesses and speeches from community leaders and elected officials.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what makes Sacramento special. We have people who come here from all over the world. They create a stronger, more diverse community. We share the culture, the heritage, the food, all of those things,\u201d said Councilmember Roger Dickinson, whose district encompass much of north Sacramento. \u201cMeetings like this are a great opportunity for people to articulate what it is that they face as needs and challenges, so that those of us who have the opportunity to work on those issues can meaningfully address them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Assemblymember Maggy Krell, a Democrat whose district includes a majority of Sacramento, was also in attendance and took part in the listening session.

Doris Matsui\u2019s office was also in attendance, encouraging members of the Afghan community to reach out to make their voices heard.

Alam said organizing the event, which she said marked the first time the commission had specifically met with the Afghan community, was especially important because many don\u2019t recognize that Afghans are a part of the AAPI community \u2014 and that many Afghans don\u2019t realize that they can access AAPI resources.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>To express her point, she described a conversation with a senior official soon after she began her current role:<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe asked me, \u2018Afghanistan, is that part of the Asian community?\u2019\u201d Alam said. \u201c &#8230; and he\u2019s like, \u2018On the census, Afghans are asked to mark white, not Afghan.\u2019 So, even in the census \u2026 Our identities don\u2019t exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>What were the takeaways?<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Each of the four groups gave roughly five-minute reports from their 25-minute discussions, offering ideas for how to face the challenges Afghan Americans are currently dealing with.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Much of the discussion tied back to the importance of giving Afghan immigrants the opportunity to become functioning members of their communities by getting jobs, creating businesses, becoming educated, learning English and understanding the country\u2019s culture.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Multiple attendees called education the most important issue facing Afghan Americans, saying that if there are increased resources devoted to acclimating young Afghans to the country and setting them up for successful careers, they not only will be able to provide for themselves better, but also contribute to their communities more.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery child that walks through the door of a classroom that is Afghan is a gift,\u201d said Diann Kitamura, a state AAPI affairs commissioner. \u201cThe mindset of our educators must change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Babak called the listening session \u201cextremely productive,\u201d noting that the elected officials, nonprofit organizers and other leaders were taking notes on the issues discussed.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no way we can solve problems in a two-hour listening session, but I think this is a very good step,\u201d Babak said. \u201cThe important thing is that many of the nonprofits were here, and the representatives and the officials.
