In 2021, the total immigrant population was 1,149,000. Shares of females in each immigrant population group remained about the same across the years, although the shares varied among the groups, between 40% and 60%. While the share of adults 18-64 declined in the U.S.-born citizen group to 58%, it remained the same in the immigrant groups (around 75% for naturalized citizen group and legal immigrant group, and 90% for the undocumented immigrant group). The share of individuals with Hispanic origin had a gradual but steady increase in the U.S.-born citizen group (8% to 12%). However, the undocumented immigrant group share declined from 54% to 39%. The shares of non-Hispanic white population declined in the U.S.-born citizen group (80% to 72%)3 and the legal immigrant group (32% to 23%). The shares of non-Hispanic Asians or Pacific Islanders increased in the legal Office of Financial Management 2 immigrant group (27% to 36%) and the undocumented immigrant group (27% to 43%). In the adult population age 18-64, all groups except the legal immigrant group had increased shares with a 4-year college degree or higher. The undocumented immigrant group had the largest change (22% to 47%). For all groups, shares of adults 18-64 who were employed increased to the highest point in 2019 (above 70%) and then declined in 2021. Shares of adults 18-64 in low-income families (less than 200% of the federal poverty level) declined in all groups, particularly in the undocumented immigrant group in which the share dropped by half (56% to 28%).

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.

Käytäntömme tavoitteet Tänä vuonna APIC uskoo, että seuraavat toimintalinjat ovat olennainen osa API-yhteisöjen elämän parantamista Washingtonin osavaltiossa: LEP Pathwaysin rahoituksen ylläpitäminen Limited English Proficient (LEP) Pathwaysin ensisijainen tavoite on edistää pakolaisten ja maahanmuuttajien taloudellista omavaraisuutta työharjoittelun, Englanti toisena kielenä (ESL) -tuntien, työtuen ja sosiaalipalvelujen avulla. Säilyttämällä LEP Pathways -ohjelman rahoitusta voimme tukea paremmin pienituloisia ja rajoitetusti englanninkielisiä maahanmuuttajia. Kansalaispalveluiden rahoitus säilytetään Kansalaispalvelut auttavat pakolaisia ja maahanmuuttajia, pääasiassa vammaisia ja iäkkäitä, saamaan kansalaisuuden auttamalla USCIS N-400 -lupaushakemuksen ja maksuvapautuspyyntöjen täyttämisessä, Yhdysvaltain historian ja kansalaisopin oppitunnit sekä haastatteluvalmistelut. Ylläpitämällä kansalaisuuspalvelujen rahoitusta voimme palvella paremmin maahanmuuttajia ja pakolaisia osavaltiossamme. COFA-terveydenhuollon ja hammaslääketieteen kattavuuden varmistaminen ja ylläpito Washingtonin osavaltion COFA-lääketieteellinen ohjelma tarjoaa olennaista terveys- ja hammashoitoa COFA-kansalaisille, jotka eivät ole saaneet liittovaltion terveysetuja. Vaikka kongressi on äskettäin hyväksynyt lain palauttaakseen Medicaid-kelpoisuuden COFA-siirtolaisille, Washingtonin osavaltion on varmistettava, että kattavuus tarjotaan, kunnes kulttuurinen ja kielellinen täytäntöönpano on valmis. Helpotusta Washingtonin laittomille työntekijöille Paperittomat washingtonilaiset, jotka on jätetty nykyisten työttömyysetuuksien ja liittovaltion elvytyspakettien ulkopuolelle, ovat kärsineet erityisen ankarasti COVID-19-pandemian aikana. Olipa kyseessä tilapäinen hätäohjelma, joka laajentaa työttömyyskelpoisuutta, tai laajempi rahoitus Washington Immigrant Relief -rahaston kautta, kaikki työntekijät ansaitsevat apua maahanmuuttajastatuksesta riippumatta. Hyvityshyvityksen käyttöönotto , päivitetty versio Working Families Tax Creditistä Recovery-alennus toisi käteistä takaisin pienituloisten ihmisten taskuihin, mukaan lukien siirtotyöläiset, jotka on epäoikeudenmukaisesti jätetty muiden liittovaltion veroetujen ulkopuolelle. Pienituloisille kotitalouksille suunnattu käteisvire varmistaisi myös, että edut suunnataan niille kotitalouksille, joita Washingtonin regressiivinen verolaki vahingoittaa eniten. Lisäksi APIC on aina nostanut investointitarvetta yhteisössämme pääomahankkeiden kautta. Tänä vuonna pyydämme tukea seuraaviin pääomaprojekteihin: Aasian ja Tyynenmeren kulttuurikeskus Laosin yhdistyneiden yhteisöjen kulttuurikeskus AIPACE Päivitämme tämän sivuston myöhemmin lahjoituslinkeillä. APIC-käytännön prioriteetit Opi APIC:n kannasta maahanmuuttouudistukseen, LGBTQ+:n edistämiseen, koulutusuudistukseen ja COVID-19-toimenpiteisiin. Pew Research: When surveying small populations, some approaches are more inclusive than others Survey researchers increasingly recognize that a single survey of the general public can rarely represent the views of small groups of Americans. Such surveys frequently have too few interviews with certain populations – such as smaller religious or racial or ethnic groups – for those voices to be heard.

Tehtävämme Our Mission 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 History The Asian Pacific Islander Coalition (APIC) of Washington 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. Recognizing the need for a collective voice advocating for the rights and equity of foreign-born Asian and Pacific Islanders, APIC formed to voice our opinions the Washington State legislature to address the gap created by federal and state legislation APIC championed the passage of legislation that created a state supported safety net. This included: State-funded food stamps program State-funded naturalization program Ensured access to basic income support programs and emergency & Covid medical programs for immigrants and refugees Creation of a limited english proficient employment pathway program Asian Pacific Islanders Coalition of South Puget Sound is a part of APIC of Washington's network with its own nonprofit status. It was co-founded in 2003. Our Vision and Values Our vision is to create a welcoming and inclusive community for AA-NH/PI individuals and organizations in the South Puget Sound area of Washington State. 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.
