LGBT/Pride Week
June is LGBT pride month. We have a variety of queer AAPI's, friends, families and allies posting about their experiences. Thanks to Be DeGuzman, one of APAP's 2009 Unsung Heroes, for coordinating this special week of posts.
To help with our upcoming hate crimes/Vincent Chin week (June 21) or Pacific Islander week (Aug), please let us know. If you have a topic you or your agency would like to coordinate, email us.

Hi there,
Thanks for the post. NYSPA is a tax exempt, professional organization and as such it is prohibited from using its revenues for political campaign purposes. PLANY was organized as a PAC so that it could give a voice to psychology in the political arena. This is why we need EVERY PSYCHOLOGIST throughout the state to contribute to PLANY so that by using our "common cents" we can grow into a PAC that will not only be heard, but listened to!
