Nos objectifs de politique Cette année, l'APIC estime que les programmes politiques suivants feront partie intégrante de l'amélioration de la vie des communautés API dans l'État de Washington : Maintenir le financement de LEP Pathways L'objectif principal du programme Limited English Proficient (LEP) Pathways est de promouvoir l'autonomie économique des réfugiés et des immigrants par le biais d'une formation professionnelle, de cours d'anglais langue seconde (ALS), d'un soutien au travail et de services sociaux. En maintenant le financement du programme LEP Pathways, nous pouvons mieux soutenir les immigrants anglophones à faible revenu et limités. Maintenir le financement des services de naturalisation Les services de naturalisation aident les réfugiés et les immigrants, principalement les personnes handicapées et âgées, à obtenir la citoyenneté grâce à une aide pour remplir la demande de naturalisation USCIS N-400 et les demandes d'exemption de frais, des cours d'histoire et d'éducation civique américaines et la préparation des entretiens. En maintenant le financement des services de naturalisation, nous pouvons mieux servir les immigrants et les réfugiés dans notre État. Assurer et maintenir la couverture santé et dentaire COFA Le programme médical COFA de l'État de Washington fournit des soins de santé et dentaires essentiels aux citoyens COFA qui ont été exclus de l'accès aux prestations de santé fédérales. Alors que le Congrès a récemment adopté une loi pour rétablir l'éligibilité à Medicaid pour les migrants COFA, l'État de Washington doit s'assurer que la couverture est fournie jusqu'à ce que la mise en œuvre culturelle et linguistique soit terminée. Aider les travailleurs sans papiers de Washington Les Washingtoniens sans papiers qui ont été exclus des allocations de chômage existantes et des plans de relance fédéraux ont été particulièrement touchés pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. Que ce soit par le biais d'un programme d'urgence temporaire qui élargit l'admissibilité au chômage ou d'un financement plus important par le biais du fonds Washington Immigrant Relief, tous les travailleurs méritent une aide, quel que soit leur statut d'immigration. Adopter un remboursement de récupération , une version mise à jour du crédit d'impôt pour les familles de travailleurs Une remise de relance remettrait de l'argent dans les poches des personnes à faible revenu, y compris les travailleurs immigrés qui ont été injustement exclus d'autres avantages fiscaux fédéraux. Une relance en espèces ciblée sur les ménages à faible revenu garantirait également que les avantages sont dirigés vers les ménages les plus touchés par le code fiscal régressif de Washington. En plus de nos priorités législatives, l'APIC a toujours relevé le besoin d'investissement dans notre communauté par le biais de projets d'immobilisations. Cette année, nous sollicitons un soutien pour les projets d'immobilisations suivants : Centre culturel Asie-Pacifique Centre Culturel des Communautés Unies du Laos AIPACE Nous mettrons à jour ce site plus tard avec des liens pour faire un don. Priorités politiques de l'APIC Découvrez la position de l'APIC sur la réforme de l'immigration, le plaidoyer LGBTQ+, la réforme de l'éducation et les mesures COVID-19.
