APAP Calendar

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.

9500 Liberty, winner of the Charlotte Film Festival Best Documentary Award, will be premiering in DC on Thursday, October 1st, the opening night of DC APA Film Festival. At 9:30, after the screening, there will be a rooftop opening night festival party. It should be great fun. Some of the "stars" in the film will be in attendance.
