TAKE ACTION

​Support the Coronavirus Immigrant Families Protection Act
Send a message to your representatives: Don't exclude immigrants form COVID-19 relief 

Viruses don’t discriminate based on English proficiency or immigration status. To ensure that we successfully contain the coronavirus outbreak and rebuild our economy, it is vital that everyone in our country have access COVID-19 testing, treatment, public health information, and relief benefits. We need YOU to tell your representatives and senators that the next COVID-19 package MUST include immigrant communities!

The Fight for Our Undocumented Community


​In November, the organizing and mobilization efforts of DC chapter members were integral to the AAPI Mobilization to Demand a Clean DREAM Act, where over 120 Asian American and Pacific Islander DREAMers and allies convened in DC for trainings, a rally, an action, and legislative visits. APALA National President Monica Thammarath, National Executive Board Members Johanna Puno Hester and Luisa Blue, Executive Director Alvina Yeh, APALA staffer Kenneth Gonzales, and former Executive Director Gregory Cendana were 6 of 19 participants in a civil disobedience action that ended up in their subsequent arrest and release. We also thank NEA President Lily Eskelsen Garcia and AFSCME Secretary Treasurer Elissa McBride for speaking at our rally earlier in the day, and we give a special shout out to our partners the National Korean American Service and Education Consortium (NAKASEC) and Asian Americans Advancing Justice. Check out the video of the civil disobedience to the above and more photos here. ​​
