Hello Folks!
APA for Progress is launching a new feature on our site! Hoping to demystify the political process for members of our community, as well as to give kudos to amazing individuals, we have come up with
Pol-Files. In these weekly posts we will be highlighting AAPI individuals working behind the scenes of politics as well as others that are making progressive efforts within their fields. To start us off, we have one of our favorites.
What is your name?
Jennifer Javier
What is your current position?
I am a caseworker in Congressman Henry Waxman's district office. I help people who are having difficulties with federal agencies (ie. immigration, Social Security, IRS, Medicare). It's social work on the federal level where I advocate for constituents to address their needs or concerns.
What are some interesting jobs you have had in the past?
To be honest, the most interesting job I’ve had is my current one. Because I deal with people and their livelihood, it can be unpredictable just as life is. I could receive a call from a homeless veteran in need of help with the VA or from Stone Temple Pilots in need of a visa for their sound engineer. You never know who may call.
