Equal Protection
Affirmative Action and Equal Opportunity
We work to preserve the consideration of race as a factor in admissions in higher education, and to prevent Asian Americans from being used as a wedge group.
Language Access
We advocate for the elimination of language barriers in government services, including improvements in the provision of interpretation services and translated documents for limited English proficient (LEP) individuals.
Racial Justice
Moving Forward, Together
The United States has reached a new phase in our long struggle for equal rights and social justice for all members of the American community. We have spent the last few years watching police brutality against communities of color, targeting and surveillance of black and brown communities, and the vilification of immigrants.
