It's that time again to talk about racial profiling

Thu, 02/11/2010 - 15:10

From the Restore Fairness blog.

There can be victories in the fight to stop racial profiling. But we need communities to come together and speak out against it.

For starters, you can have a conversation along with thousands of others on February 22 and Face the Truth about racial profiling.

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!

Monday morning racism from Monroe County

Mon, 12/14/2009 - 14:17

I’ve never heard of Monroe County. Turns out, it’s a little county in Forsyth, Georgia, which is north of a town called Macon and far south from Atlanta. But, if you Google “Monroe County”, the first website you get is for the ”Monroe County Reporter”, the self-proclaimed “No.1 source of news and advertising in Monroe County”.

I think that’s the dictionary definition of  being a big fish in a little pond. Or, perhaps a puddle even.

Georgia's Asian Pacific American Population Confronts Xenophobia

Sun, 03/29/2009 - 17:54

Georgia's state legislature is currently considering a law that would impose English-Only provisions for the driver's license test.  The specifics of the bill are in the Action Alert below, but what really moves me about this issue is how the Asian Pacific American community has weighed in.  In the state, local Asian Pacific American groups have been outspoken about the need to make sure that Georgians don't let misguided xenophobia be the basis of their lawmaking.
