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.
The Asian Pacific American Labor Alliance (APALA) is proud to convene the First National Asian Pacific American Workers' Rights Hearing and the first event focused on Asian Pacific American workers co-hosted by the new leadership of the AFL-CIO. Hear from Asian Pacific American workers about the challenges they face in exercising their right to organize - including employer abuse, immigrant exploitation, wage theft and union suppression - and strategies developed to continue the fight for worker solidarity and economic justice.
Invited Panelists: Secretary Hilda Solis, U.S. Department of Labor; Congressman Mike Honda (CA-15); Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-32); John Delloro, President, APALA; Sarita Gupta, Executive Director, Jobs with Justice; Kent Wong, Director, UCLA Labor Center; Larry Shinagawa, Director, University of Maryland - Asian American Studies Department; Gregory Cendana, President, United States Student Association
