ADVISORY: President Obama to Sign Executive Order on White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders on Wednesday
WASHINGTON – On Wednesday, October 14, President Obama will sign an Executive Order restoring the White House Advisory Commission and Interagency Working Group to address issues concerning the Asian American and Pacific Islander community. At the East Room ceremony, the President will also observe Diwali, or the “Festival of Lights,” a holiday celebrated across faiths.
As APAP board member Ramey Ko of Asian Americans for Obama pointed out, it's worth noting that this was a campaign promise made to our community. It is truly inspiring and moving to see President Obama honor this promise, especially on the day that he received such an immense honor himself.
If anyone who is a press member in DC wants to attend this event and cover it for us, please contact Curtis at curtis@apaforprogress.org. Thanks!
