Citizenship Class Citizenship Class Schedule Citizenship Class 1/2 Citizenship Class Registration Maahanmuuttooikeus Jotta AAPI-maahanmuuttajat Washingtonin osavaltiossa voisivat elää täyttä, turvallista ja terveellistä elämää, tarvitsemme turvallisia ja tukevia instituutioita ja käytäntöjä, jotka palvelevat kaikkia yksilöitä maahanmuuttoasemasta riippumatta. Miksi tämä on tärkeää? Vuoden 1996 hyvinvointiuudistuslain vuoksi monet maahanmuuttajat eivät ole oikeutettuja turvaverkko-ohjelmiin viiden ensimmäisen asumisvuotensa aikana, ja julkisten maksujen pelko on estänyt useampia maahanmuuttajia hakemasta palveluja. Washingtonin osavaltiossa asuvista yli 800 000 AAPI:sta noin puolet on ulkomailla syntyneitä. Tämä sisältää noin 60 000 dokumentoimatonta AAPI:tä (dokumentoimattomia AAPI:itä on noin 1,7 miljoonaa valtakunnallisesti) . 73 % Washingtonissa asuvista aasialaisista amerikkalaisista puhuu kotona muuta kieltä kuin englantia, ja heistä yli 44 % puhuu englantia huonommin kuin "erittäin hyvin". Noin 60 707 aasialaista amerikkalaista Washingtonissa (10 %) elää köyhyydessä ja noin 7 951 NHPI:tä Washingtonissa (17 %) elää köyhyydessä, mikä tarkoittaa julkisen avun tarvetta. Toisin kuin valtavirran kertomukset, AAPI-ryhmien välillä on korkea sosioekonominen, etninen ja kielellinen/kulttuurinen monimuotoisuus. Esimerkiksi intialaisten kotitalouksien mediaanitulot ovat 115 105 dollaria, kun taas hmong-kotitalouksien mediaanitulot ovat 53 717 dollaria. Tätä varten APIC tukee pääsyäsi ilmaiseen/alennettuun lakiapuun ja kannattaa seuraavia käytäntösuosituksia: Laajenna LEP-polkuja: LEP-rahoitus edistää pakolaisten ja maahanmuuttajien taloudellista omavaraisuutta työharjoitteluohjelmilla, koulunkäynnin keskeyttämiskursseilla ja työtuella, joka tarjoaa vankan pohjan työmahdollisuuksille ja kansalaisuudelle. LEP tarjoaa pääsyn myös eläkeläisille, jotka hakevat terveys- ja sosiaalipalveluja. LEP Pathwaysin rahoitusta leikattiin taantuman jälkeen, eikä sitä ole sittemmin palautettu alkuperäiseen määrään. Lisätään kansalaisuuspalvelujen rahoitusta: Washingtonin osavaltion kansalaisuusohjelma auttaa pakolaisia ja maahanmuuttajia tulemaan kansalaisiksi kansalaisuushakemuksen, englannin ja kansalaistuntien sekä haastatteluvalmistelujen avulla. Vanhukset ja vammaiset pakolaiset ja maahanmuuttajat ovat ensisijaisesti kansalaisuusohjelman vastaanottajia. Myönnä rahoitusta Oikeuspuolustusrahastoon: Lain mukaan maahanmuuttajille ei taata oikeutta käyttää asianajajaa, ja he joutuvat usein maahanmuuttotuomioistuimeen ilman laillista edustajaa. Tämä rahasto on välttämätön, jotta maahanmuuttajille voidaan tarjota asianmukaiset resurssit ja työkalut, joita he tarvitsevat pysyäkseen paikkakunnallaan riippumatta siitä, onko heillä varaa asianajajaan. Laajenna oikeutta työttömyysetuuksiin: Yhden historian suurimmista talouskriiseistä uhkaa, laittomat työntekijät ansaitsevat yhtä lailla pääsyn työttömyysvakuutukseen. Työttömyysetuuksien laajentaminen kaikille on välttämätöntä kaikkien maahanmuuttajien tukemiseksi ja kohottamiseksi. Suojaa dokumentoimattomia maahanmuuttajia: Pidä Washington työssä ja tuomioistuimet avoimina kaikille -asetuksen myötä osavaltiomme hallitusten tulisi jatkossakin priorisoida laittomien washingtonilaisten turvallisuutta ja minimoida liittovaltion maahanmuuttovalvontaviranomaisten valta ja toimet. Tähän sisältyy valtion virastojen ja maahanmuuttovalvontaviranomaisten välisen epäasianmukaisen yhteistyön lopettaminen, kuvernöörin armahdusten tehon ja tiheyden lisääminen sekä voittoa tavoittelevien pidätyskeskusten lopettaminen.

Tehtävämme Asian Pacific Islanders Coalition South Puget Sound (APIC SPS) on puolueeton liittouma, joka edistää tasapuolista pääsyä kulttuurisesti päteviin ja kielellisesti saatavilla oleviin terveys- ja inhimillisiin palveluihin, pienyritysten taloudellista kehitystä, kansalais- ja ihmisoikeuksia, yhtäläistä pääsyä koulutukseen ja muita API-huoleja. . Kannustamme ja edistämme Aasian-Amerikan Tyynenmeren saarten asukkaiden (AAPI:t) kansalaisosallistumista vaali- ja julkisen politiikan prosesseihin. 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.

COVID-19-apu WA Health Plan Expansion for DACA Recipients People with certain immigration statuses now qualify for more savings Due to a recent federal change , Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients and other people with qualifying immigration statuses can now access increased federal savings through Washington HealthplanfinderTM as of Nov. 1, 2024. These savings significantly lower costs for most — many customers can find a health plan for less than $10 per month. Who qualifies?

Any household member affected by the recent change needs to select “Yes” to the question, “Is this household member lawfully present in the U.S.?” in their Washington Healthplanfinder application.

Medicaid has provided vital health care to over 80 million Americans, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and many within our AANHPI communities. In Washington State alone, nearly 2 million people rely on Apple Health (the state's Medicaid program). On July 4th, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed, cutting almost $1 trillion from Medicaid. The Bill also curtails provider taxes, meaning states have to make a difficult choice: make cuts to other services (such as education) or raise taxes, or make even deeper cuts to Medicaid. Governor Ferguson's office estimates at least 250,000 Washingtonians will lose Medicaid Coverage . Read the Health Care Authority report below for more information.
