On behalf of Asian Pacific Americans for Progress (APAP), we applaud Congressman Honda and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) for this statement and have enjoyed working with them on many endeavors from our House Parties to statements like these.

As some of you may have read the blog post, Tam Tran and Cinthya Felix Perez: Dream Activists Killed in Car Crash (thanks to Oiyan), I thought it was important that folks knew about what they can do to support Tam and Cinthya. More biographical information is listed below.

Tam Tran & Cinthya Felix: DREAM Activists Killed in Car Crash
