No Teacher Should Be Left Behind!

Thu, 09/01/2011 - 19:30

As students returned to school this month to begin a new academic year, some students in Prince George’s County, Maryland noticed their teachers were absent from the classroom. Due to a settlement between the Department of Labor (DOL) and Prince George’s Co. Public School System (PGCPS), hundreds of international teachers who worked for the county have been terminated or are facing unemployment while their immigration status becomes invalid in the U.S.

APAP Unsung Hero 2010 - Arshad Hasan

Thu, 01/20/2011 - 21:55

Nomination and blog post written by: Curtis Chin, APAP Board President

As an organization that came out of Howard Dean's 2004 presidential campaign, APAP usually agrees with the good Governor, including his Fifty-state strategy and vocal support of the public option. However, when controversy erupted in 2010 over the building of an Islamic community center in downtown Manhattan and Governor Dean suggested it might be better to move the center, we respectfully disagreed with him.

TAKE ACTION TODAY: Health Care for Asian American Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) is at Risk

Wed, 01/19/2011 - 10:27

We have an urgent request. Health care reform for AAPIs is at risk. We can't let the new leadership in Congress return us to the days when insurance companies were free to do whatever they want with no accountability, such as denying coverage to children with asthma and other pre-existing conditions, or doubling premiums, and imposing higher costs on families and small businesses.
 A House vote to repeal health care reform is scheduled for TODAY, Wednesday, January 19th.
