Citizenship Class Citizenship Class Schedule Citizenship Class 1/2 Citizenship Class Registration 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.

  • Our Mission and Vision | Asian Pacific Island

    Meie missioon Aasia Vaikse ookeani saarte koalitsioon South Puget Sound (APIC SPS) on erapooletu koalitsioon, mis edendab võrdset juurdepääsu kultuuriliselt pädevatele ja keeleliselt kättesaadavatele tervishoiu- ja inimteenustele, väikeettevõtete majandusarengut, kodaniku- ja inimõigusi, võrdset juurdepääsu haridusele ja muid API-de probleeme. . Julgustame ja edendame Aasia-Ameerika Vaikse ookeani saarte elanike (AAPI) kodanikuosalust valimis- ja avaliku poliitika protsessides. Our Mission Asian Pacific Islanders Coalition of South Puget Sound (APIC SPS) 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. Asian Pacific Islanders Coalition of South Puget Sound is a part of APIC of Washington's network with its own nonprofit status. 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.
