Judge Ed Chen Testifies Before Senate Judiciary Committee

Wed, 10/07/2009 - 13:24
See video

Magistrate Judge Ed Chen testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee recently.  Judge Chen was recently nominated by Pres. Obama to a federal district bench in the Northern District of California, which includes the Bay Area.  Amazingly enough, the Bay Area has never had an Asian American federal judge, despite its historically large APA population.  As you can see in the YouTube clip, Judge Chen is likely to become the first, judging from the largely softball questions from both Republicans and Democrats on the Committee.

Thai Buddhist Temple of Berkeley Controversy

Sat, 01/10/2009 - 18:34
ACTION: ATTEND Hello friends at Asian Pacific Americans for Progress, I hope this email finds you well. I am emailing you about the current situation surrounding the Thai Buddhist Temple of Berkeley, California. To fill you in: Our beloved 27-year-old temple has come under fire by a small group neighbors recently in the past months for the Sunday Food Offering that has become a part of the cultural fabric of the Bay Area. As in cultural tradition, the Sunday food services are essential to the Buddhist religious practice of communal food-sharing in receiving Buddhist spiritual merit. Furthermore, these services have become embedded with the Temple's spiritual activities, a part of the Culture and Arts Plan of Berkeley, and a main staple for the representation of the Thai/American community. The offering also helps subsidize many of the cultural, artistic, and religious programs offered on Temple grounds; such as the Thai Cultural Center, language immersion programs, as well as instruction on Thai dance forms.
