Part 3 - Line 4a

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. THE TEAM RECENTLY FINALIZED A SETTLEMENT THAT WILL PREVENT U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT (ICE) FROM ILLEGALLY USING A THIRD-PARTY CONTRACTOR, G4S SECURE SOLUTIONS, INC., TO ASSIST PEOPLE IN JAILS AND PRISONS AND FUNNEL THEM INTO THE DEPORTATION PIPELINE.


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 2021 AND 2022, WE LED EFFORTS TO ENGAGE THESE COMMUNITIES IN CALIFORNIA'S REDISTRICTING PROCESS, INCLUDING PROVIDING EXTENSIVE OUTREACH, WORKSHOPS, AND TRAINING TO HELP ENGAGE PEOPLE AND BUILD THEIR POLITICAL POWER, AS WELL AS EXECUTING THE LARGEST NONPARTISAN POLL MONITORING PROGRAM IN CALIFORNIA.


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.
