It Hurts Our Nation’s Ability to Combat Employment Discrimination!

noemail@advancingequality.org — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 15:00:00 GMT

During Senate committee proceedings, Senator Alexander introduced and passed an amendment to the Senate Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) Appropriations bill that would severely restrict the Equal Employment Opportunity Commissions (EEOC) ability to fully investigate and pursue civil actions against employers that have English-only policies in the workplace and are using these policies in a discriminatory manner. This provision sets a dangerous precedent of eroding the ability to enforce anti-discrimination laws. A significant number of these cases demonstrate that the EEOC was pursuing employers who had no legitimate business reasons for enforcing English-only policies. Many employers were abridging more fundamental rights in the workplace such as forbidding employees from speaking their native language during breaks. While the Senate included this provision in their CJS appropriations bill, the provision did not pass in the House. We must call upon Members in the House CJS...

You Can Help Immigrant Students Today!

noemail@advancingequality.org — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 21:00:00 GMT

CALL NOW to Urge Your Senators to Vote for the DREAM Act!

With a possible Senate vote on the DREAM Act as early as Wednesday, anti-immigrant groups are already flooding the Senate phones with their hateful messages. We need your help now more than ever to remind our elected officials that we should give talented youth a chance to contribute to this country!

TELL SENATORS TO VOTE FOR S. 2205 THE DREAM ACT!

Last week, Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) re-introduced the DREAM Act as a new stand-alone bill, S. 2205. There are an estimated 65,000 students who graduate from high school every year without legal immigration status, including many Asian Americans. These students face a daily fear of deportation from the only country they know and many difficulties pursuing higher education or military service.

If made into law, the DREAM Act would apply to individuals brought to the U.S. at least five years ago as children, who have grown up here, and who have remained in school and out of trouble. They could get a green card six years after graduating from high school if during that time they continue on to college or serve in the military.

Call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to be directly connected to your Senators' offices. We must call more often and be louder than the anti-immigrant groups. Call now to urge both your Senators to support the DREAM Act!

Calls Needed Today to Protect Families!

noemail@advancingequality.org — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Urge Your Senators to Vote for the Following Amendments! The current immigration bill being considered by the Senate contains provisions that severely limit the ability of families to be reunited. The following amendments will help America keep its promise to promote family values. Menendez-Hagel Amendment • The current Senate immigration bill will clear only part of the family-based backlog. United States citizens who submitted applications for adult children or siblings after May 1, 2005, the cut- off date, will lose their place in line and be punished for playing by the rules. • The Menendez-Hagel amendment would change the cut-off date for legal immigrant applicants from May 1, 2005 to January 1, 2007 – the same cut-off date set for the legalization of undocumented immigrants. Clinton-Hagel-Menendez Amendment • Current immigration law and the current Senate immigration bill limit the number of green cards available to spouses and minor children of lawful permanent...

Asian American Advocates Disappointed in Supreme Court's Decision in the Indiana Voter ID Case

noemail@advancingequality.org — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 22:00:00 GMT

Washington, D.C. – The Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) and its affiliates – Asian Pacific American Legal Center, Asian Law Caucus and the Asian American Institute – join voting rights and advocacy groups nationwide in their disappointment in the United States Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the constitutionality of the Indiana voter photo identification law. The decision did, however, leave the door open to future challenges in Indiana and elsewhere by otherwise eligible voters who are denied their right to vote based on onerous and unconstitutional voter ID laws. Studies have shown that there are millions of eligible voters without the necessary IDs, including Asian Americans, said Tuyet Le, executive director of the Asian American Institute. As the dissent notes, Indiana’s law will sadly but predictably have its greatest impact on voters who are poor, elderly, belong to racial minorities or have disabilities. Asian Americans are among those who will be disproportionately...

Asian American Justice Center Disappointed With Closing of AZN Network

noemail@advancingequality.org — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:00:00 GMT

Cites Lack of Investment To Develop Asian American Market Washington, D.C. – The Asian American Justice Center (AAJC), a national civil rights organization, is disappointed with the Comcast announcement of the closing of the AZN Network as of April 9 for financial reasons. AZN Television specializes in programs targeted toward the Asian American community. AZN Network reached 13.9 million households and broadcast news, movies, dramas and other programming in multiple Asian languages, including Chinese, Tagalog, Japanese, Korean, Hindi and Vietnamese. It is especially unfortunate that AZN Television is going off the air when you consider the growth of the Asian American population, which is one of the fastest growing populations according to the Census Bureau, said Vincent A. Eng, deputy director of AAJC. It is our belief that the reason there is not yet a sufficient advertising demand is because the television entertainment companies have not made a sufficient investment to work...

Asian American Justice Center Applauds Congress for Protecting Worker's Rights in Omnibus Spending Bill

noemail@advancingequality.org — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Washington, D.C. – The Asian American Justice Center (AAJC), a national civil rights organization, applauds Congress for omitting a harmful amendment to the 2007 omnibus spending bill. This amendment could have severely restricted the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) ability to fully investigate and pursue civil actions against employers which have English-only policies in the workplace and are using these policies in a discriminatory and unconscionable manner.

“We commend Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Harry Reid, and the minority caucuses, especially Congressman Mike Honda and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, for taking a strong stance against any erosion of workplace discrimination enforcement,” said Vincent A. Eng, Deputy Director at AAJC. “An omnibus bill stripped of this amendment shows Congress’ outstanding commitment to preserving the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” he added.

“Congress has sent a commendable message that it will not condone any attacks on the rights of language minorities,” said Tuyet G. Duong, Staff Attorney at AAJC. “AAJC hopes to engage in a more productive conversation with Congress on funding integration strategies and how we as a nation can help Asian American workers and employees learn English,” she added.

The Asian American Justice Center is a national organization dedicated to defending and advancing the civil and human rights of Asian Americans. It works closely with three affiliates – the Asian American Institute in Chicago, the Asian Law Caucus in San Francisco, and the Asian Pacific American Legal Center in Los Angeles – and nearly 100 community partners in 49 cities, 23 states and Washington, D.C.

Asian American Organizations Encouraged by Maximum Sentence in the Murder of Cha Vang; National Efforts Will Continue for Strengthening Hate Crime Laws

noemail@advancingequality.org — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 22:00:00 GMT

Washington, D.C. – The Asian American Justice Center (AAJC), Hmong National Development, Inc. (HND) and the Southeast Asia Resource Action Center (SEARAC) are encouraged that on the heels of Monday’s community rally around racial justice in Madison, Wis., James Nichols received the maximum sentence allowed under Wisconsin law in the murder of Hmong American Cha Vang. AAJC, HND and SEARAC, organizations that serve the Asian American community nationwide from their base in Washington, D.C., have closely followed the developments in this case and have strongly urged a hate crime enhancer and maximum penalty in the prosecution of Nichols. Nichols was originally charged with first degree intentional homicide but instead was convicted of second degree intentional homicide in October. Nichols was also convicted on charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm and concealing a corpse. Under the circumstances, we are pleased that the judge delivered the maximum sentence of 69 years...

AAJC AND 25 NATIONAL AND LOCAL ASIAN AMERICAN ADVOCACY GROUPS FILE AMICUS BRIEF IN VOTING RIGHTS CASE

noemail@advancingequality.org — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 21:00:00 GMT

Washington, D.C. – The Asian American Justice Center (AAJC), a national human and civil rights organization, and its affiliates – Asian Pacific American Legal Center (APALC), Asian Law Caucus (ALC) and Asian American Institute (AAI) – along with 22 other national and local Asian American advocacy groups, filed an amicus brief in the United States Supreme Court against Indiana’s restrictive voter ID law in the case of William Crawford et al. v. Marion County Election Board, et al, arguing that the voter ID disproportionately deprives Asian Americans of the right to vote and provides an invitation to discriminate against Asian American voters. In the case, the Supreme Court will decide if Indiana’s statute, which requires government-issued photo identification to be presented in order to vote is discriminatory and unconstitutional. Although supporters of the Indiana voter ID statute claim that restrictive voter ID requirements are necessary to combat fraud, opponents are quick to...

Asian American Justice Center Opposed to Legislative Language in Appropriations Bill Which Would Severely Restrict Workplace Discrimination Enforcement

noemail@advancingequality.org — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 21:00:00 GMT

Washington, D.C. – The Asian American Justice Center (AAJC), a national civil rights organization, is disappointed that last Friday the House passed a Motion to Instruct Commerce, Justice, and Science (CJS) Appropriations Bill conferees to accept language that could severely restrict the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) ability to fully investigate and pursue civil actions against employers which have English-only policies in the workplace and are using these policies in a discriminatory manner. This is the same provision which the House rejected earlier in this past summer. Senate and House conferees will be meeting tomorrow to finalize the appropriations bill. The Senate bill contains harmful language which would prevent EEOC from using its funds to investigate and bring actions against employers using English-only workplace standards in an unconscionable manner against employees. Over 22.5 percent of Asian Americans who do not speak English not well or not at all,...

The 2007 Asian Pacific American Media Coalition Report Card on Television Diversity

noemail@advancingequality.org — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 15:00:00 GMT

Los Angeles—The Asian Pacific American Media Coalition (APAMC) is disappointed in the degree of progress that has been made by the four major networks -- ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC -- none of which improved their overall grades from last year. Overall, only 29 Asian Americans were cast in regular roles in prime-time, only two more than last year. And many of the regular roles are not quality roles with significant air time. When compared to other racial groups, APAs are still far less likely to be in starring roles in prime-time programming, although a number of shows are set in cities with high APA populations. Furthermore, APAs are the only ethnic group that does not boast someone as the star of his/her own show. The Coalition is pleased to see that the number of APA writers and producers have rebounded from the severe drop last year. However, there are still too few APA and other minority writers and producers on prime-time shows; and too few in charge of creative decisions. As a...

AAJC Urges Community to Call Out the 44 Senators Who Rejected the Dreams of Immigrant Youth

noemail@advancingequality.org — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Washington, D.C. – The Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) is extremely disappointed in the 44 Senators who yesterday voted against giving talented immigrant youth a chance to fully contribute to this country. Although a majority of Senators supported the DREAM Act, the 52 votes cast did not overcome the 60-vote threshold for today’s procedural motion. It is sad that so many of our law makers are willing to extinguish the dreams of young people who are willing to earn their right to stay in the country they call home by working hard in college or defending America in the military, said AAJC President and Executive Director Karen Narasaki. Even though these immigrant students have done nothing wrong, the Senators who voted against today’s motion want to punish them for being trapped in an immigration system the Senate refused to fix. Last week, Senators Richard Durbin (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Richard Lugar (R-IN) re-introduced the DREAM Act as a new stand-alone bill, S. 2205....

AT&T, Carol Lam and Peggy Saika to Receive Awards Tonight at AAJC's American Courage Awards Event; Yul Kwon to Emcee Ceremony

noemail@advancingequality.org — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:00:00 GMT

Washington, D.C. – Today, at 6:30 p.m. at the National Press Club, the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC) will honor AT&T, former U.S. Attorney Carol Lam and community activist Peggy Saika at its annual American Courage Awards reception, which honors Americans who exemplify community service to Asian American and other minority communities. Survivor: Cook Islands winner Yul Kwon will emcee the event. This year’s awardees highlight what Americans are doing to protect and advance the civil and human rights of Asian Americans and other minorities, said Karen K. Narasaki, president and executive director of AAJC. Their hard work and success are a testament to what community activism is contributing to our great nation. During the ceremony, AAJC will pay tribute to the Honorable Robert Takeo Matsui for his tireless work in Congress on behalf of all Americans, especially children and seniors. Sadly Congressman Matsui passed away New Year’s Day 2005, leaving behind a 26-year legacy that...

Asian American Justice Center Calls on USCIS to Inform Immigrant Communities About the New Naturalization Test

noemail@advancingequality.org — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 20:00:00 GMT

Washington, D.C. – The Asian American Justice Center (AAJC), a leading national civil and human rights organization, calls upon the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to conduct a comprehensive outreach plan to inform all segments of the Asian American and other immigrant communities of the new naturalization test. Last week, USCIS released the 100 questions and answers that comprise the civics portion of the new exam and will begin administering the test to new citizenship applicants beginning October 2008. AAJC has been involved in the redesign process for the new naturalization test for more than five years and we are disappointed that USCIS rushed to release the new exam without first creating a thorough community outreach and education plan, said AAJC President and Executive Director Karen K. Narasaki. We are also alarmed that USCIS has yet to release detailed information regarding the pilot process for the new exam questions and has not released much information...

Community Partners

Thu, 08 May 2008 15:39:28 GMT

In any community work, leadership capacity is essential. We have demonstrated this at AAJC via our Community Partners Network, which has expanded to include nearly 100 community partners in 49 cities across 23 states, and Washington, D.C. Created to build the capacity of Asian American communities, we work hand-in-hand with community-based organizations, conducting workshops and trainings on various issues of importance to local communities.

Language Access

Thu, 08 May 2008 15:33:58 GMT

In our work to prevent discrimination against language minorities, access to vital government services and programs - from legal services to health care - is an urgent priority. We have been at the forefront of the field of language rights for the past decade. AAJC, with other national partners, advocated for the issuance of Executive Order 13166 in 2000, which mandated that federal agencies must provide meaningful access to Limited English Proficient individuals through their federally funded programs. AAJC has been a primary stakeholder and commentator on federal agencies’ issuance of LEP guidances. In 2002, AAJC was one of the primary partners involved in a national convening on language access, funded by the California Endowment. AAJC is also a co-chair of the Language Access committee of the Leadership Conference for Civil Rights (LCCR). Click here for publications and materials.

Immigration and Immigrant Rights

Thu, 08 May 2008 15:26:32 GMT

In recent years, anti-immigrant voices and legislation have fueled a heated national immigration debate, while disproportionately ignoring Asian Americans.
Three statistics underlie this fact: that nearly 40 percent of all immigrants to the U.S. come from Asia, that 1.5 million of them are undocumented and that more than 60 percent of Asian Americans are foreign-born.

As the nation's premiere authority on immigration policy as it affects the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities, we have long led the struggle to educate the public, lawmakers and the media on the pressing need to overhaul our nation's badly broken immigration system.

We also provide the Asian American community with essential information, insight and analysis on newly enacted and proposed immigration policies. We have also successfully helped initiate bipartisan reform in the House and Senate that addresses many of the pressing needs of the community.

Affirmative Action

Thu, 08 May 2008 15:22:21 GMT

At AAJC, we generate opportunities for minorities and women by supporting affirmative action across the board. Our Asian American Contractor Empowerment Project defends and promotes minority contracting in the public and private sectors, and enables the Asian American community to address this critical issue locally and nationally. In the courts, our attorneys have filed briefs in significant cases - including many before the Supreme Court - on arguments surrounding public contracting, undergraduate admissions, law school admissions and the very issue of affirmative action itself. AAJC is also affiliated with Americans for a Fair Chance, a project of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund, that is a consortium of six of Americas leading civil rights organizations: AAJC, the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, Inc., the National Womens Law Center, and...

Annual Reports

Mon, 05 May 2008 03:24:52 GMT

2006 marked the 15th year of operation for the Asian American Justice Center. Over the years, AAJC has successfully helped to advance the human and civil rights of Asian Americans through advocacy, public policy, public education and litigation. As a nation, we faced the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina, which greatly impacted tens of thousands of Asian Americans, especially limited English proficient (LEP) and low-income families. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, AAJC took the lead in organizing culturally and linguistically adapted relief efforts for the Asian American community in the Gulf region. AAJC also released its national demographic report, A Community of Contrasts: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States, which is still widely used today by policymakers, media and community representatives.
