You can help determine the political future of AAPIs -- but only two weeks left to sign up!

Fri, 01/29/2010 - 16:18

The Asian Pacific American Legal Center (APALC) and other Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) organizations are encouraging qualified AAPIs to apply for the new redistricting commission established by Proposition 11.  The 14-person citizens commission will draw new maps for state legislative and Board of Equalization districts in 2011.  How the new maps are drawn will determine whether AAPI communities are kept together or split unfairly.

2010 Census Outreach to Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders

Mon, 01/04/2010 - 09:10

Happy New Year! It's 2010, and no matter how you say it -- "two thousand and ten" or "twenty-ten" -- the new year brings one very important matter -- THE 2010 CENSUS!!!

Over the holidays, I noticed a good number of press releases and news items about efforts by AAPI community organizations to encourage, but I'm thinking that most of us were in the holiday mood, and could use a reminder of what's happening!

As our readers know, it's a going to be a tough race for the California Attorney General's office in 2010. As opposed to the Governor's race where there's only one Democrat running, current California Attorney General Jerry Brown, the race to replace him in his current office is filled with a host of viable candidates.

Join us on Mon., 11/23 -- Stand Strong for Inclusive Health Reform (SF)

Mon, 11/30/2009 - 07:58

Communities of color from across California are gathering at the health reform table because we are part of this country. Back in Washington, DC, people like Rep. Joe Wilson represent America’s worst. On Monday, November 23, in San Francisco, we will assert ourselves as immigrants because we are America. We are disappointed about how public conversations about who immigrants are have led to the exclusion of immigrants in health reform legislation.
