Asian Pacific Islander Coalition (APIC) var stofnað eftir að velferðarumbæturnar frá 1996 höfðu veruleg áhrif á og dró úr alríkishæfi þeirra sem ekki eru ríkisborgarar til opinberrar aðstoðar. Eftir að hafa viðurkennt þörfina fyrir sameiginlega rödd sem talsmaður fyrir réttindum og jöfnuði erlendra fæddra Asíu- og Kyrrahafseyjabúa (API), byrjaði APIC að beita sér fyrir því að löggjafarþingið í Washington fylki ætti að taka á bilinu sem alríkislöggjöfin skapaði. Byggir á þessari arfleifð, á hverju ári koma APIC kaflar frá King, Pierce, Snohomish, Yakima og Spokane sýslum og South Puget Sound saman innflytjendum, flóttamönnum og borgurum frá Washington fylki til að hitta seðlabankastjóra, fulltrúa ríkisins og öldungadeildarþingmenn. fyrir þau málefni sem hafa mest áhrif á samfélög okkar Meðstjórnendur okkar Lin Crowley lincrowley@gmail.com Brian Locke brian_locke@comcast.net
