A coalition of organization representing the interests of Asian Pacific Islanders has released a policy platform, which includes maintaining vote-by-mail in Pennsylvania and opposing state and local efforts to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
A Pennsylvania coalition of organizations representing Asian American Pacific Islanders has released a policy platform that includes maintaining vote-by-mail and stopping state and local agencies from cooperating with federal immigration authorities. said in a statement released Monday that its six-plank platform was born from more than 1,600 “community conversations” held in 15 languages.
Citing the 2020 Census, AAPI said there are about 604,000 Asian Pacific Islanders in Pennsylvania. In a 2020 fact sheet,said about 22 percent of Asian and Pacific Islanders in the state lived in Philadelphia. Besides tackling those issues, the AAPI wants more resources for mental health responders, workforce development and non-violent alternatives, as well as more implicit bias awareness training at public safety agencies and expanded transparency on police misconduct.
He also called on officials to protect communities from “individual aggressors and predatory developers.” “Immigrant issues are Asian American issues. Immigrant issues are human rights issues,” Lee said. “To make Pennsylvania a place where everyone can thrive and fully participate in their daily lives, we need to provide access to protections and privileges regardless of immigration status, and seek long-term systemic change.”
Among the other issues of interest is climate change, which is devastating Asian coastal nations and Pacific islands, AAPI said, while air and water pollution affect members in Pennsylvania.
