The Importance of API LGBT Visibility

Fri, 06/04/2010 - 10:06

For this entire week, a fabulous group of LGBT and allied guest bloggers have recognized the transition from May as AAPI Heritage Month to June as LGBT (lesbian/ gay/ bisexual/ transgender) Pride Month.  These blog postings represent some of the leading voices in any of our communities and we’re proud to bring them to you.  The National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance (NQAPIA) is glad to work with Asian Pacific Americans for Progress on this and is committed to continued partnership on issues that affect us all.

Wed, 05/26/2010 - 19:11

By Erin Pangilinan

"Let's talk about sex" is something not usually heard in an Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) household. But on different California college campuses like California State University Fullerton (CSUF), that's the focus of discussion.

It's been reported that about 200k people showed up on the National Mall today for a historic precendence (take that Tea Party!) to keep President Obama accountable to his promise to pass an Immigration Reform bill. AAPI groups represented in full force from all over the country. Starting from the AAPI constituency pre-rally at noon, advocates and activists joined supporters on the national mall in the blazing sun to demand Comprehensive Immigration Reform in 2010. Debrief the March with us: http://bit.ly/CIRforAAPIs

Immigration Reform: Where are all the AAPIs at?

Fri, 03/19/2010 - 08:20

On Sunday, March 21, NAKASEC (the National Korean American Service and Education Consortium) asks you to march with us on the Capitol alongside tens of thousands to demand President Barack Obama and Congress keep their promise to fix our broken immigration system in 2010. Immigration reform is vital to making America’s economy working for all families. Our communities cannot wait any longer. It’s time to give democracy a workout and march together and hold our elected leaders accountable.
