APAP Calendar

LGBT/Pride Week

June is LGBT pride month. We have a variety of queer AAPI's, friends, families and allies posting about their experiences. Thanks to Be DeGuzman, one of APAP's 2009 Unsung Heroes, for coordinating this special week of posts.

To help with our upcoming hate crimes/Vincent Chin week (June 21) or Pacific Islander week (Aug), please let us know. If you have a topic you or your agency would like to coordinate, email us.

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

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

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!

On July 14th, the San Gabriel Valley is set to do something that has never been done before: send a Chinese American woman to Congress. Barring the inconceivable, Board of Equalization Vice-Chair (and Democrat) Judy Chu will win the seat vacated by Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis, as a result of her resounding victory in the open primary held on May 19th.
