Help end job discrimination!

It’s 2010, and in the majority of the country, there are no legal protections from workplace discrimination for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people!

This will change with the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), a federal bill that will ban job discrimination nationwide on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity.  We have the votes in Congress, we have a president who will sign the bill, now we just need to keep the momentum going!

As we noted in an earlier post, there are four AAPI organizations who made the finals of the Chase Community Giving challenge. With a chance to win as much as $1,000,000, each group was asked to submit a new "big idea". The Center for the Pacific Asian Family, the vital non-profit based in Los Angeles, has enlisted some pretty big guns to help promote their big cause: ending domestic violence.

Just the messenger for a message from the Vietnamese American Community Service Center in DC.

Please help out the Help Samoa Disaster Relief Coalition to get relief out to the Samoan islands in the wake of the tsunami that hit on September 29, 2009.  President Obama has declared a major federal disaster in American Samoa, authorizing FEMA and other resources to aid the communities there.
