This event fostered collaborative action among community leaders and individuals who are passionate about making a difference. We invited all who live, work, study, or play in Thurston County and are committed to advocating for marginalized groups to come together and take part in solutions. This summit was an opportunity to engage with others who share a vision for a more inclusive, equitable, and just community. Check back on our events page in the future to get involved for our 2026 DEI Summit! Race Dialogue Our 6th annual Race Dialogue was held on March 29th, 2025. The goal of this dialogue was to inform us how racism hurts us all, and how we can be effective allies to each other. We aim to empower everyone with the tools needed to have uncomfortable yet constructive conversations in the context of their own unique lived experiences within their communities. This was an opportunity to form collaborations with other like-minded organizations and individuals. We were joined by speakers: Golden Neal, Fernando Mejia Ledesma, Denise Miño, and Kristin Ang.

立法法案跟踪器 2022 年立法会议结束！ 今年未通过的任何法案都必须在下一届会议（2023 年）重新提出，并将有新的法案编号。 Legislative Priorities 移民的健康公平 Bill 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 1482 Send a Comment The Health Equity for Immigrants Campaign is calling on the Washington State Legislature to codify the Apple Health Expansion in statute through legislation. 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

A Guide to Naturalization 移民司法 为了让华盛顿州的 AAPI 移民过上充实、安全和健康的生活，我们需要为所有人服务的安全和支持性机构和政策，无论其移民身份如何。 为什么这很重要？ 由于 1996 年的福利改革法案，许多移民在其居住的头五年没有资格获得安全网计划，而且对公共负担的担忧阻碍了更多移民获得服务。 在居住在华盛顿州的超过 800,000 名 AAPI 人中，大约一半是在外国出生的。这包括大约 60,000 个无证 AAPI（全国约有170 万个无证 AAPI） 。 华盛顿 73% 的亚裔美国人在家中说英语以外的其他语言，其中超过 44% 的亚裔美国人说英语的程度低于“非常好”。 华盛顿约有 60,707 名亚裔美国人 (10%) 生活在贫困中，华盛顿约有 7,951 名 NHPI (17%) 生活在贫困中，这表明需要公共援助。 与主流说法相反，AAPI 群体之间存在高度的社会经济、种族和语言/文化多样性。例如，印度家庭的收入中位数为 115,105 美元，而苗族家庭的收入中位数为 53,717 美元。 为此，APIC 支持您获得免费/减少的法律帮助，并倡导以下政策建议： 扩展 LEP 途径： LEP 资金通过职业培训计划、ESL 课程和工作支持促进难民和移民的经济自给自足，为就业机会和入籍提供坚实的基础。 LEP 还为寻求健康和社会服务的老年人提供服务。 LEP Pathways 的资金在经济衰退后被削减，此后一直没有恢复到原来的数额。 增加对入籍服务的资助：华盛顿州的入籍计划通过协助入籍申请、英语和公民课程以及面试准备，帮助难民和移民成为公民。老年和残疾难民和移民是入籍计划的主要接受者。 为法律辩护基金分配资金： 根据法律，移民不能保证可以接触到律师，并且经常发现自己在没有法律代表的情况下在移民法庭上出庭。该基金对于为移民提供他们留在社区所需的适当资源和工具是必要的，无论他们是否能负担得起律师。 扩大领取失业救济金的资格： 随着历史上最大的经济危机之一迫在眉睫，无证工人同样值得获得失业保险。向所有人扩大失业救济金对于支持和提升所有移民是必要的。 保护无证移民： 随着保持华盛顿工作和法院对所有人开放的通过，我们的州政府应继续优先考虑无证华盛顿人的安全，并尽量减少联邦移民执法机构的权力和行动。这包括继续终止政府机构和移民执法机构之间的任何不当合作，增加州长赦免的权力和频率，以及终止营利性拘留中心。
