- Our Mission and Vision | Asian Pacific Island
我们的任务 南普吉特湾亚太岛民联盟 (APIC SPS) 是一个无党派联盟,旨在促进公平获得具有文化能力和语言能力的健康和人类服务、小企业的经济发展、公民和人权、平等接受教育以及 API 的其他问题.我们鼓励和促进亚裔太平洋岛民 (AAPI) 在选举和公共政策过程中的公民参与。 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.

View DFI Financial Resources View Thurston County Resources View Pierce County Resources Office of Financial Management Population Report: Washington State's Immigrant Population 2010-2021 by Wei Yen, Ph.D. Immigrant population has increased by 29% in Washington during 2010-21, with a larger increase in the immigrant group of naturalized citizens (37%). 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%).

This will ensure that the roughly 12,000 people who are now accessing health insurance through the expansion will not lose access, and will allocate sufficient funds to allow 35,000 low-income undocumented Washingtonians to use the Medicaid-like program. 移民的健康公平 Status: $3.5 million per year for Naturalization services preserved in the operating budget $1.77 million per year for LEP Pathway services preserved in the operating budget Naturalization services help refugees and immigrants, predominantly those who are disabled and elderly, attain citizenship through assistance in completing the USCIS N-400 naturalization application and fee waiver requests, classes in American history and civics, and interview preparation. By maintaining funding for Naturalization services at $3,545,000 in fiscal year 2025 and 2026, we can continue to serve immigrants and refugees in our state. The Limited English Proficient (LEP) Pathways’ primary goal is to promote economic self-sufficiency for refugees and immigrants through job training, English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, work support, and social services. By maintaining funding for the LEP Pathways program at $1,774,000, we can better support low-income and limited English speaking immigrants. These program funding sources were cut during the 2008 financial crisis, causing immigrant communities to suffer disproportionately during that time of economic downturn. It is critical that we not repeat this mistake, especially during times of deep anxiety and uncertainty for immigrant communities. 移民的健康公平 Status: Funding for immigrant legal defense funding increased from $8 million to $9 million per year 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 移民的健康公平 Status: Did not pass 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 SB 5626 Send a Comment HB 1773 Send a Comment Capital Projects 移民的健康公平 Status: $1,000,000 allocated for the Cham Community Center in the capital budget 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 移民的健康公平 Status: $1,030,000 allocated for the Asia Pacific Cultural Center in the capital budget 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 移民的健康公平 Status: $3,050,000 allocated for ICHS Ron Chew Center in the capital budget 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 移民的健康公平 Status: $878,000 allocated for the Little Saigon Vietnamese Cultural & Economic Center in the capital budget $2,000,000 allocated for the Little Saigon Landmark in the capital budget 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 移民的健康公平 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 移民的健康公平 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 移民的健康公平 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 Solidarity Agenda Additional Policies We Support 移民的健康公平 Status: Delivered to Governor 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 SB 5077 Send a Comment 移民的健康公平 SB 5768 Status: Senate Rules "X" file 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 SB 5768 Send a Comment HB 1214 Send a Comment 移民的健康公平 Status: Did not pass 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 Send a Comment SB 5574 移民的健康公平 Status: Did not pass 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 HB 1146 Send a Comment 移民的健康公平 Status: Did not pass 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 HB 1319 Send a Comment 移民的健康公平 Status: Did not pass 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划 Send a Comment HB 1674 移民的健康公平 追加预算拨款1213.1 万美元 ,用于从 2024 年开始为所有华盛顿人(无论其移民身份)启动健康保险计划
