Center for Asian Americans United for Self Empowerment, or CAUSE, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates without partisan affiliation and focuses on community engagement. Founded in 1993, the organization is based in Pasadena in the Greater Los Angeles area and works to advance political participation among Asian Pacific Americans through voter registration, education, outreach, and leadership development. CAUSE's activities are framed as civic participation efforts with a reach that extends across California. Its programs target Asian Pacific American residents, aiming to facilitate participation in elections and public life. In 2020, CAUSE partnered with Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE), the Los Angeles Urban League, and the Los Angeles Times to conduct a poll on presidential preferences among U.S. citizens residing in California.
