Rest in Peace and Power, John Delloro

Mon, 06/07/2010 - 20:49

I'm still hoping that the text message I got on Saturday was a cruel joke.  The message read: "Have you heard that John Delloro passed? I just wanted to confirm." My heart stopped and my head spun around trying to understand the words on my phone. I called John's cell phone, which didn't go straight to voicemail. After five rings, I heard John's voice in the voicemail message, a beep and silence...

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

Mon, 05/17/2010 - 08:09
See video

This weekend I shed a few tears over the loss of two inspiring leaders in the immigrant youth movement.  On Saturday night I started seeing "RIP" notes on facebook. With all of the crazy racist anti-immigrant stuff going on these days, I just could not believe that Tam Tran and Cinthya Felix had died in a car crash in Maine. I know that since their passing, I feel that the fight for fair and just immigration reform and the DREAM Act is that much more urgent.

Don Nakanishi, Asian American and Latino Coalitions

Fri, 04/09/2010 - 14:09

The Los Angeles Times had a very cool profile on Don.  I'm currently at the Association for Asian American Studies conference in Austin, TX, and I have to say that this feature came out at a very appropriate time.  As a growing field, Asian American Studies continues to face challenges in changing to reflect the times, yet continue to be grounded in its tradition and history of community-based research.

Looking forward to immigration reform and how it will benefit the U.S. economy by $1.5 trillion

Wed, 01/13/2010 - 15:39

(From Restore Fairness blog) Do we need more evidence of the fact that Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR) will benefit the country? For those that are unconvinced, the new report brought out by the Center for American Progress and Immigration Policy Center should help point our how crucial CIR is to the future of the U.S. economy.

Asian Americans and the Increasing Unaffordability of the UC

Tue, 11/24/2009 - 17:27

Nearly one week after the UC Regents increased student fees (the UC term for "tuition") by 32%, students, workers and faculty continue to fight back.  I'm proud to highlight 2 efforts by Asian American students.  First, I saw the University of California: Priceless video on the Student Activism blog this morning, and it damn near made me misty-eyed.  The one thing I would change is to focus on the total cost of education at UCSD and other UC campuses since the
