Meie väärtused Austades meie ajalugu Peame minevikku hoidma ja sellest õppima. Tähistame oma ainulaadseid lugusid, õnnestumisi ja võitlusi, valu ja pettumusi. Meie kogukonna põlvkondadevahelise tarkuse väärtustamine tähendab põlvkondadevaheliste mõtestatud sidemete loomist. Kasvu jätkates keskendume noorte häälele ja juhtimisele. Toitev kogukond Väga oluline on luua ruumid õppimiseks, mõtiskluseks ja väljenduseks selliste meediumite kaudu nagu kultuuriline/vaimne kunst ja kirjanduslikud meediumid. Me ehitame ja tõstame üksteist armastuse, kaastunde ja empaatiaga. Pühendumine võrdsusele ja õiglusele Esikohal on rõhutud kogukondade häälte ja läbielatud kogemuste koondamine. Peame tunnistama privileegide ja rõhumise ristumiskohti. Oleme pühendunud võitlusele valgete ülemvõimu vastu läbi rassismivastase objektiivi. Julguse ja kirega juhtimine Me võtame omaks erinevused ja kaldume ebamugavusse. Tähistame edu ja tunnistame ebaõnnestumise tarkust. Modelleerimise terviklikkus Me liigume usalduse ja konsensuse kiirusel. Läbipaistvus on esmatähtis. Jõu ja solidaarsuse loomine Meie esivanemad on alati meiega. Tunneme oma rõhumise ja meie ees seisnute töö omavahelist seost. Me rajasime oma töö põlisrahvaste kogukondade võitlustele.

A Guide to Naturalization Immigratsiooniõigus Selleks, et AAPI sisserändajad Washingtoni osariigis saaksid elada täisväärtuslikku, turvalist ja tervet elu, vajame turvalisi ja toetavaid institutsioone ja poliitikaid, mis teenindavad kõiki üksikisikuid olenemata sisserände staatusest. Miks see oluline on? 1996. aasta hoolekandereformi seaduse tõttu ei ole paljudel sisserändajatel esimesel viiel elamisaastal õigust kasutada turvavõrguprogramme ning hirm avaliku tasu ees on heidutanud rohkem immigrante teenustele juurdepääsu saamast. Washingtoni osariigis elavast enam kui 800 000 AAPI-st on umbes pooled välismaal sündinud. See hõlmab umbes 60 000 dokumentideta AAPI-d ( üleriigis on umbes 1,7 miljonit dokumenteerimata AAPI-d) . 73% Washingtonis asuvatest Aasia ameeriklastest räägib kodus mõnda muud keelt peale inglise keele ja neist enam kui 44% räägib inglise keelt vähem kui "väga hästi". Umbes 60 707 Aasia ameeriklast Washingtonis (10%) elab vaesuses ja umbes 7951 NHPI-d Washingtonis (17%) elab vaesuses, mis tähendab vajadust avaliku abi järele. Vastupidiselt peavoolu narratiividele on AAPI rühmade seas sotsiaalmajanduslik, etniline ja keeleline/kultuuriline mitmekesisus kõrge. Näiteks India leibkondade keskmine sissetulek on 115 105 dollarit, samas kui hmongi leibkondade keskmine sissetulek on 53 717 dollarit. Sel eesmärgil toetab APIC teie juurdepääsu tasuta/vähendatud õigusabile ja toetab järgmisi poliitikasoovitusi. Laiendage LEP-teid: LEP-i rahastamine edendab pagulaste ja sisserändajate majanduslikku iseseisvat toimetulekut tööalaste koolitusprogrammide, kooli poolelijätmise klasside ja töötoetuse kaudu, mis loob kindla aluse töövõimalustele ja naturalisatsioonile. LEP võimaldab juurdepääsu ka tervishoiu- ja sotsiaalteenuseid otsivatele pensionäridele. LEP Pathwaysi rahastust kärbiti pärast majanduslangust ja seda pole sellest ajast alates algsele summale taastatud. Suurendage naturalisatsiooniteenuste rahastamist: Washingtoni osariigi naturalisatsiooniprogramm aitab pagulastel ja sisserändajatel saada kodakondsuse taotlemisel, inglise keele ja kodanikuõpetuse tundide ning intervjuude ettevalmistamise kaudu. Eakad ja puudega pagulased ja immigrandid on naturalisatsiooniprogrammi peamised saajad. Eraldage rahalised vahendid õiguskaitsefondile: Seaduse kohaselt ei ole sisserändajatele tagatud juurdepääs advokaadile ja nad satuvad sageli immigratsioonikohtusse ilma seadusliku esindajata. See fond on vajalik selleks, et anda sisserändajatele piisavad ressursid ja tööriistad, mida nad vajavad oma kogukonnas viibimiseks, olenemata sellest, kas nad saavad endale advokaadi lubada. Laiendage töötushüvitiste saamise õigust: ajaloo ühe suurima majanduskriisi ajal on dokumentideta töötajad samaväärselt väärt juurdepääsu töötuskindlustusele. Töötushüvitiste laiendamine kõigile on vajalik kõigi immigrantide toetamiseks ja tõstmiseks. Kaitske dokumentideta sisserändajaid: Washingtoni töö ja kohtud kõigile avatud hoidmisega peaks meie osariigi valitsus jätkuvalt seadma esikohale dokumentideta Washingtoni elanike turvalisus ning minimeerima föderaalsete immigratsiooni täitevasutuste võimu ja tegevust. See hõlmab valitsusasutuste ja immigratsioonikaitseorganite vahelise sobimatu koostöö jätkamist, kubermangude armuandmise võimsuse ja sageduse suurendamist ning kasumit taotlevate kinnipidamiskeskuste lõpetamist.

Julgustame ja edendame Aasia-Ameerika Vaikse ookeani saarte elanike (AAPI) kodanikuosalust valimis- ja avaliku poliitika protsessides. Võtke ühendust Küsimuste korral võtke ühendust kaasesimees/programmijuhiga: Lin Crowley, @ lincrowley@gmail.com või kaasesimehe Brian Lockiga @ brian_lock@comcast.net & apic.southpugetsound@gmail.com. Our Mission The Asian Pacific Islander Coalition of South Puget Sound is a statewide network of community organizations dedicated to racial and economic justice for all Asians and Pacific Islanders in solidarity with Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. The Asian Pacific Islander Coalition (APIC) was created after the 1996 Welfare Reform Act significantly impacted and reduced non-citizens’ federal eligibility for public assistance programs. After recognizing the need for a collective voice advocating for the rights and equity of foreign-born Asian and Pacific Islanders (API), APIC began lobbying for the Washington State legislature to address the gap created by federal legislation. Building off this legacy, every year APIC Chapters from King, Pierce, Snohomish, Yakima, and Spokane counties and South Puget Sound bring together immigrants, refugees, and citizens from Washington state to meet with the Governor, State Representatives, and State Senators to advocate for the issues most impactful to our communities Our Values Honoring our history We must preserve and learn from the past. We celebrate our unique stories, successes and struggles, pain, and disappointments. Valuing the intergenerational wisdom our community has means cultivating meaningful connections between generations. We center youth voices and leadership as we continue to grow. Commitment to Equity and Justice Centering the voices and lived experiences of oppressed communities comes first. We must acknowledge the intersections of privilege and oppression. We are committed to fighting against white supremacy through an anti-racist lens. Modeling Integrity We move at the speed of trust and consensus. Transparency is a top priority. Nourishing Community It is vital to create spaces for learning, reflection, and expression through mediums such as cultural/spiritual arts and literary mediums. We build and lift each other up with love, compassion, and empathy. Leading with Courage and Passion We embrace differences and lean into discomfort. We celebrate success and acknowledge the wisdom of failure. Building Power and Solidarity Our ancestors are always with us. We recognize the interconnectedness of our oppression and the work of those who came before us. We ground our work in the struggles of Indigenous communities.

Meie missioon Aasia Vaikse ookeani saarte koalitsioon (APIC) on üleriigiline kogukonnaorganisatsioonide võrgustik, mis on pühendunud rassilisele ja majanduslikule õiglusele kõigi Aasia ja Vaikse ookeani saarte elanike jaoks solidaarselt mustade, pruunide ja põlisrahvaste kogukondadega. Aasia Vaikse ookeani saarte koalitsioon (APIC) loodi pärast seda, kui 1996. aasta heaolureformi seadus mõjutas märkimisväärselt ja vähendas mittekodanike föderaalset abikõlblikkust riiklike abiprogrammide jaoks. Pärast seda, kui APIC tunnistas vajadust kollektiivse hääle järele, mis propageeriks välismaal sündinud Aasia ja Vaikse ookeani saarte (API) õigusi ja võrdsust, hakkas APIC tegema lobitööd Washingtoni osariigi seadusandlikule kogule, et lahendada föderaalseadustest tekkinud lünk. Sellele pärandile tuginedes toovad igal aastal APIC peatükid Kingi, Pierce'i, Snohomishi, Yakima ja Spokane'i maakondadest ning South Puget Soundist kokku sisserändajad, pagulased ja Washingtoni osariigi kodanikud, et kohtuda kuberneri, osariigi esindajate ja osariigi senaatoritega. meie kogukondi kõige enam mõjutavate probleemide jaoks Meie kaasesimehed Lin Crowley lincrowley@gmail.com Brian Locke brian_locke@comcast.net
