With the 2012 national and congressional elections looming, there are many issues at stake.  We must continue advocating for the 99%, champion fair immigration policies, defend our civil liberties and address our warming climate.  Once again, we'd like to recognize the amazing work of Asian Pacific American progressives around the country.

Nominate your Top AAPI Unsung Hero for 2010

Mon, 11/29/2010 - 11:38

Progressives had a lot of battles in 2010. From the rise of the tea party to the continued anti-immigration, anti-gay and anti-worker policies and a disappointing midterm election, we definitely had our hands full. Fortunately, we have a lot of bright, creative and energetic people (and organizations) on our side. We'd once again like to take the time to recognize them for all their hard work and commitment to equality, fairness and progressive values.

Making LGBTQI issues politically local issues

Fri, 06/04/2010 - 15:30

All politics is local

This week I attended a town hall meeting by Congresswoman Judy Chu on the issue of repealing the discriminatory policy of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” in the United States Armed forces and the negative impact that this unfair policy has had on the lives of so many of our brave men and women serving in the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force.  I was moved by the stories of those on the panel who spoke about their commitment to protecting this nation and the pain of having to conceal their sexual orientation in order to serve.
