IMMIGRATION RIGHTS: ADVANCING JUSTICE-ASIAN LAW CAUCUS IS COMMITTED TO AN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM THAT KEEPS FAMILIES TOGETHER AND DOES NOT DETERMINE A PERSON'S VALUE BY THEIR IMMIGRATION STATUS OR WHETHER THEY HAVE BEEN INCARCERATED. RECOGNIZING THAT INCARCERATION, IMMIGRATION DETENTION AND DEPORTATION SEPARATES FAMILIES, WE FOCUS ON LEGAL SERVICES ON THE MOST VULNERABLE IN THE ASIAN AMERICAN AND PACIFIC ISLANDER (AAPI) COMMUNITY - IMMIGRANTS FACING DEPORTATION DUE TO CRIMINAL CONVICTIONS. THE HUNDREDS OF CLIENTS WE SERVE EACH YEAR ENABLE US TO QUICKLY IDENTIFY EMERGING PROBLEM AREAS AND TO RESPOND EFFECTIVELY THROUGH IMPACT LITIGATION, COMMUNITY EDUCATION, AND ADVOCACY. IN NOVEMBER 2021, FOR EXAMPLE, THROUGH OUR LEGAL ADVOCACY AND CAMPAIGNS WE CELEBRATED THE RELEASE OF FORMERLY INCARCERATED FIREFIGHTER AND VIETNAMESE REFUGEE PHI PHAM FROM ICE DETENTION IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ORGANIZATIONS.


VOTING RIGHTS: ADVANCING JUSTICE-ASIAN LAW CAUCUS' VOTING RIGHTS PROGRAM WORKS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS FOR AAPI, AMEMSA, AND OTHER IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES, LIMITED-ENGLISH SPEAKING CALIFORNIANS, AND ALL THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY DISENFRANCHISED. IN 2020 AND 2021, WE LED EFFORTS TO ENGAGE THESE COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA'S REDISTRICTING PROCESS, INCLUDING PROVIDING EXTENSIVE OUTREACH, WORKSHOPS, AND TRAININGS TO HELP ENGAGE PEOPLE AND BUILD THEIR POLITICAL POWER.


HOUSING: ADVANCING JUSTICE-ASIAN LAW CAUCUS' HOUSING RIGHTS PROGRAM ADVOCATES ON BEHALF OF LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS IN THE AREAS OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. WE FOCUS PRIMARILY ON GATEWAY COMMUNITIES FOR NEW IMMIGRANTS, SUCH AS SAN FRANCISCO CHINATOWN, WHERE LARGE NUMBERS OF TENANTS AND SENIORS ARE IN DANGER OF DISPLACEMENT DUE TO GENTRIFICATION AND OTHER ECONOMIC PRESSURES. INFORMED BY OUR DIRECT LEGAL SERVICES, WE ADVOCATE FOR LOCAL AND STATE POLICIES THAT PRESERVE HOUSING, CREATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING OPTIONS, AND DECREASE INEQUITIES IN HOUSING AND LAND USE. DURING THE PANDEMIC, THIS HAS INCLUDED ADVOCATING FOR DISBURSEMENT OF RENT RELIEF FUNDS, PROVISION OF ADEQUATE LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE THROUGHOUT THE EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM APPLICATION PROCESS, AND CONSISTENT PROCEDURES STATEWIDE.
