During game three of the 2017 World Series, Houston Astros’ player Yulieski Gurriel made a racist gesture and slur towards Japanese-born Yu Darvish, a Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitcher.

Dear Mr. Wray,

Asian Americans Advancing Justice | AAJC, NALEO, and the National LGBTQ Task Force submitted joint comments and recommendations to address the American Community Survey (ACS) Methods Panel test plan. 

The letter was sent to Speaker Paul Ryan, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Charles Schumer against attacks to the family diversity visa program. The letter is led by Asian Americans Advancing Justice, the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, NAKASEC, and the UndocuBlack Network and signed by over 100 national, state and local organizations.

We, the undersigned, continue to support in full the Lifeline reforms adopted in March 2016 to modernize the program for the digital age. For that reason, we encourage the Commission implement those modernizations swiftly. Specifically, we call on you to reverse the Wireline Competition Bureau’s Order on Reconsideration that has undermined Lifeline’s important goal of bringing affordable communications services to poor people, and to set aside any further efforts to erode Lifeline’s promise. 
 

Asian Americans Advancing Justice – AAJC, along with the 49 undersigned organizations, academic institutions, and individuals, submit this comment in response to the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) federal register notice regarding the Proposals From the Federal Interagency Working Group for Revision of the Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (“Standards”), 82 FR 12242 (March 1, 2017). Asian Americans and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) comprise vastly diverse racial groups.
