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.

Cupertino becomes third city with Asian American majority on city council

Asian American politicians continue to make strides. In addition to the victories on Tuesday of openly-gay AAPI candidates Evan Lowe in Campbell, CA, and Alex Wan in Atlanta, we have word that Cupertino, CA, just became the third city in the country, and the only one in Northern California, with an Asian American council majority. Of special note, newcomer Barry Chang received the endorsements of Norm Mineta and John Chiang.
