Asian Pacific Americans for Progress proudly presents

The L.A. Premiere of
"VINCENT WHO?"
A New Documentary on Asian American Pacific Islander Empowerment

Over 25 years ago, the hate crime murder of Vincent Chin in Detroit galvanized the Asian American and Pacific Islander community.

The Senate has just voted in favor of moving forward on a floor debate for S. 1315. The good news is that the first vote taken by the entire Senate on Filipino WWII veterans equity legislation was passed unanimously 94-0. The BETTER news is that our work HAS ONLY BEGUN. The Senate will spend the next 30 legislative hours debating this bill.

Q. Does my vote really make a difference? Short answer: YES!! Long Answer courtesy of the Federal Election Commission: "Just" one vote can and often does make a difference in the outcome of an election.
