Add Your Name to the Letter Campaign 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.

SB 5626 Send a Comment HB 1773 Send a Comment Tervise võrdsus immigrantidele 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.

A Guide to Naturalization Immigratsiooniõigus Selleks, et AAPI sisserändajad Washingtoni osariigis saaksid elada täisväärtuslikku, turvalist ja tervet elu, vajame turvalisi ja toetavaid institutsioone ja poliitikaid, mis teenindavad kõiki üksikisikuid olenemata sisserände staatusest. Miks see oluline on? 1996. aasta hoolekandereformi seaduse tõttu ei ole paljudel sisserändajatel esimesel viiel elamisaastal õigust kasutada turvavõrguprogramme ning hirm avaliku tasu ees on heidutanud rohkem immigrante teenustele juurdepääsu saamast. Washingtoni osariigis elavast enam kui 800 000 AAPI-st on umbes pooled välismaal sündinud. See hõlmab umbes 60 000 dokumentideta AAPI-d ( üleriigis on umbes 1,7 miljonit dokumenteerimata AAPI-d) . 73% Washingtonis asuvatest Aasia ameeriklastest räägib kodus mõnda muud keelt peale inglise keele ja neist enam kui 44% räägib inglise keelt vähem kui "väga hästi". Umbes 60 707 Aasia ameeriklast Washingtonis (10%) elab vaesuses ja umbes 7951 NHPI-d Washingtonis (17%) elab vaesuses, mis tähendab vajadust avaliku abi järele. Vastupidiselt peavoolu narratiividele on AAPI rühmade seas sotsiaalmajanduslik, etniline ja keeleline/kultuuriline mitmekesisus kõrge. Näiteks India leibkondade keskmine sissetulek on 115 105 dollarit, samas kui hmongi leibkondade keskmine sissetulek on 53 717 dollarit. Sel eesmärgil toetab APIC teie juurdepääsu tasuta/vähendatud õigusabile ja toetab järgmisi poliitikasoovitusi. Laiendage LEP-teid: LEP-i rahastamine edendab pagulaste ja sisserändajate majanduslikku iseseisvat toimetulekut tööalaste koolitusprogrammide, kooli poolelijätmise klasside ja töötoetuse kaudu, mis loob kindla aluse töövõimalustele ja naturalisatsioonile. LEP võimaldab juurdepääsu ka tervishoiu- ja sotsiaalteenuseid otsivatele pensionäridele. LEP Pathwaysi rahastust kärbiti pärast majanduslangust ja seda pole sellest ajast alates algsele summale taastatud. Suurendage naturalisatsiooniteenuste rahastamist: Washingtoni osariigi naturalisatsiooniprogramm aitab pagulastel ja sisserändajatel saada kodakondsuse taotlemisel, inglise keele ja kodanikuõpetuse tundide ning intervjuude ettevalmistamise kaudu. Eakad ja puudega pagulased ja immigrandid on naturalisatsiooniprogrammi peamised saajad. Eraldage rahalised vahendid õiguskaitsefondile: Seaduse kohaselt ei ole sisserändajatele tagatud juurdepääs advokaadile ja nad satuvad sageli immigratsioonikohtusse ilma seadusliku esindajata. See fond on vajalik selleks, et anda sisserändajatele piisavad ressursid ja tööriistad, mida nad vajavad oma kogukonnas viibimiseks, olenemata sellest, kas nad saavad endale advokaadi lubada. Laiendage töötushüvitiste saamise õigust: ajaloo ühe suurima majanduskriisi ajal on dokumentideta töötajad samaväärselt väärt juurdepääsu töötuskindlustusele. Töötushüvitiste laiendamine kõigile on vajalik kõigi immigrantide toetamiseks ja tõstmiseks. Kaitske dokumentideta sisserändajaid: Washingtoni töö ja kohtud kõigile avatud hoidmisega peaks meie osariigi valitsus jätkuvalt seadma esikohale dokumentideta Washingtoni elanike turvalisus ning minimeerima föderaalsete immigratsiooni täitevasutuste võimu ja tegevust. See hõlmab valitsusasutuste ja immigratsioonikaitseorganite vahelise sobimatu koostöö jätkamist, kubermangude armuandmise võimsuse ja sageduse suurendamist ning kasumit taotlevate kinnipidamiskeskuste lõpetamist.

Meie missioon APIC-South Puget Sound on pühendunud Aasia ja Vaikse ookeani saarte kogukonnale juurdepääsetavate ressursside pakkumisele. Altpoolt leiate ressursse immigratsiooni, toiduga kindlustatuse, valijate registreerimise ja muu kohta. Töötame selle nimel, et pakkuda rohkem keeles juurdepääsetavaid allikaid ja värskendame seda lehte töö jätkudes. Office of Financial Management (OFM) Population Report: Washington State's Immigrant Population 2010-21 by Wei Yen, Ph.D. Immigrant population has increased by 29% in Washington during 2010-21, with a larger increase in the immigrant group of naturalized citizens (37%). In 2021, the total immigrant population was 1,149,000. Shares of females in each immigrant population group remained about the same across the years, although the shares varied among the groups, between 40% and 60%. While the share of adults 18-64 declined in the U.S.-born citizen group to 58%, it remained the same in the immigrant groups (around 75% for naturalized citizen group and legal immigrant group, and 90% for the undocumented immigrant group). The share of individuals with Hispanic origin had a gradual but steady increase in the U.S.-born citizen group (8% to 12%). However, the undocumented immigrant group share declined from 54% to 39%. The shares of non-Hispanic white population declined in the U.S.-born citizen group (80% to 72%)3 and the legal immigrant group (32% to 23%). The shares of non-Hispanic Asians or Pacific Islanders increased in the legal Office of Financial Management 2 immigrant group (27% to 36%) and the undocumented immigrant group (27% to 43%). In the adult population age 18-64, all groups except the legal immigrant group had increased shares with a 4-year college degree or higher. The undocumented immigrant group had the largest change (22% to 47%). For all groups, shares of adults 18-64 who were employed increased to the highest point in 2019 (above 70%) and then declined in 2021. Shares of adults 18-64 in low-income families (less than 200% of the federal poverty level) declined in all groups, particularly in the undocumented immigrant group in which the share dropped by half (56% to 28%).

Race Dialogue: Change the Dynamics—What's Power Got to do With it Thank you to everyone who participated in our annual race dialogue "Change the dynamics--what's Power got to do with it " on March 16, 2024. We examined and discussed race relations and racism and how we can work together to achieve justice in our community.

Selle dialoogi eesmärk oli arutada haridus- ja kriminaalõigussüsteeme seoses koolide ja vanglate vahel. Suur tänu meie esinejatele Liezl Tomas Rebugiole ja Reiko Callnerile. Kultuurilised töötoad APIC-SPS korraldab iga kuu teisel laupäeval kultuurilise töötoa. Järgmise sündmuse kohta teabe saamiseks minge meie sündmuste vahekaardile!

Meie poliitika eesmärgid Sel aastal usub APIC, et järgmised poliitilised tegevuskavad on Washingtoni osariigi API kogukondade elu parandamise lahutamatu osa: Säilitada LEP Pathwaysi rahastamine Piiratud inglise keele oskusega (LEP) Pathwaysi peamine eesmärk on edendada pagulaste ja immigrantide majanduslikku isemajandamist töökoolituse, inglise keele kui teise keele (ESL) tundide, töötoetuse ja sotsiaalteenuste kaudu. Säilitades programmi LEP Pathways rahastamist, saame paremini toetada madala sissetulekuga ja piiratud inglise keelt kõnelevaid immigrante. Säilitada naturalisatsiooniteenuste rahastamine Naturaliseerimisteenused aitavad pagulastel ja sisserändajatel, peamiselt puuetega ja eakatel, saada kodakondsust USCIS N-400 naturalisatsioonitaotluse ja tasust vabastamise taotluste täitmise, Ameerika ajaloo ja kodanikuõpetuse tundide ning intervjuude ettevalmistamise kaudu. Naturaliseerimisteenuste rahastamist säilitades saame oma osariigis paremini teenindada sisserändajaid ja pagulasi. COFA tervishoiu- ja hambaravikindlustuse tagamine ja säilitamine Washingtoni osariigi COFA meditsiiniprogramm pakub olulist tervishoiu- ja hambaravi COFA kodanikele, kes on föderaalsest tervisetoetusest välja jäetud. Kuigi Kongress võttis hiljuti vastu õigusaktid, millega taastatakse Medicaidi abikõlblikkus COFA migrantidele, peab Washingtoni osariik tagama, et kindlustus oleks tagatud, kuni kultuuriline ja keeleline rakendamine on lõpule viidud. Leevenduse pakkumine Washingtoni dokumentideta töötajatele COVID-19 pandeemia ajal on eriti rängalt tabanud dokumentideta Washingtoni elanikud, kes on välistatud olemasolevatest töötushüvitistest ja föderaalsetest stiimulipakettidest. Kas ajutise hädaabiprogrammi kaudu, mis suurendab töötuse abikõlblikkust, või ulatuslikuma rahastamise kaudu Washingtoni immigrantide abifondi kaudu, väärivad kõik töötajad leevendust olenemata sisserände staatusest. Töötavate perede maksusoodustuse uuendatud versiooni sissenõudmise tagasimakse kehtestamine Tagastamise allahindlus tooks raha tagasi madala sissetulekuga inimeste taskutesse, sealhulgas sisserändajatest töötajatele, kes on ebaõiglaselt muudest föderaalsetest maksusoodustustest välja jäetud. Madala sissetulekuga leibkondadele suunatud rahaline stiimul tagaks ka hüvitiste suunamise nendele leibkondadele, mida Washingtoni regressiivne maksukoodeks kõige rohkem kahjustab. Lisaks meie seadusandlikele prioriteetidele on APIC kapitaliprojektide kaudu alati tõstnud vajadust investeerida meie kogukonda. Sel aastal palume toetust järgmistele kapitaliprojektidele: Aasia Vaikse ookeani kultuurikeskus Laose Ühendatud Kogukondade kultuurikeskus AIPACE Värskendame seda saiti hiljem annetamise linkidega. APIC poliitika prioriteedid Lugege APIC seisukohtade kohta immigratsioonireformi, LGBTQ+ propageerimise, haridusreformi ja COVID-19 meetmete kohta.

Meie väärtused Austades meie ajalugu Peame minevikku hoidma ja sellest õppima. Tähistame oma ainulaadseid lugusid, õnnestumisi ja võitlusi, valu ja pettumusi. Meie kogukonna põlvkondadevahelise tarkuse väärtustamine tähendab põlvkondadevaheliste mõtestatud sidemete loomist. Kasvu jätkates keskendume noorte häälele ja juhtimisele. Toitev kogukond Väga oluline on luua ruumid õppimiseks, mõtiskluseks ja väljenduseks selliste meediumite kaudu nagu kultuuriline/vaimne kunst ja kirjanduslikud meediumid. Me ehitame ja tõstame üksteist armastuse, kaastunde ja empaatiaga. Pühendumine võrdsusele ja õiglusele Esikohal on rõhutud kogukondade häälte ja läbielatud kogemuste koondamine. Peame tunnistama privileegide ja rõhumise ristumiskohti. Oleme pühendunud võitlusele valgete ülemvõimu vastu läbi rassismivastase objektiivi. Julguse ja kirega juhtimine Me võtame omaks erinevused ja kaldume ebamugavusse. Tähistame edu ja tunnistame ebaõnnestumise tarkust. Modelleerimise terviklikkus Me liigume usalduse ja konsensuse kiirusel. Läbipaistvus on esmatähtis. Jõu ja solidaarsuse loomine Meie esivanemad on alati meiega. Tunneme oma rõhumise ja meie ees seisnute töö omavahelist seost. Me rajasime oma töö põlisrahvaste kogukondade võitlustele.
