California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Community leaders and City Attorney David Chiu gathered in Chinatown today to say #YESon50!

This year, Trump imposed illegal tariffs and arrested thousands of people without warrants.

Vote YES on Prop 50 to stop him from hurting our AAPI communities even further! ๐Ÿ—ณ๏ธ

Confused about Prop 50? Texas state representative Gene Wu is here to share exactly why it's so important to vote #YESon50 if you care about saving our democracy, fair representation, and immigrant communities of color.

We can NOT allow Donald Trump to continue stealing Congressional seats.

Trumpโ€™s $100K H-1B Fee Puts A Bigger Target On South Asian Workers Trumpโ€™s $100K H-1B fee could reshape Americaโ€™s workforce, putting a bigger target on South Asian workers as hate surges threaten careers and innovation.

From racist stereotypes to full-blown conspiracy theories, Trump's attacks on the H-1B visa program will only exacerbate the discrimination that South Asian workers face. Check out co-founder Manjusha Kulkarni's interview about what Trump's anti-immigrant agenda means for South Asian communities.

This problem is bigger than Ohio. Recently, Florida, Texas, Georgia, and other states have passed similar laws, criminalizing Chinese home ownership and fueling racial profiling against Asians. With our futures on the line, we must all continue to defend our right to call the U.S. home.

Letโ€™s be clear: Housing discrimination will not make Ohio โ€“ or any other state โ€“ a safer place to live. All this legislation will do is punish ordinary people for the actions of foreign governments that they have zero control over.

Demonstrators protest Ohio land ownership measures that target Chinese immigrants โ€ข Ohio Capital Journal This past weekend more than a hundred Ohioans demonstrated outside the Statehouse against a pair of bills that could effectively outlaw some immigrants from owning land in the state.

Following decades of racist policies that shut out Asian immigrants, the Immigration Act of 1965 gave millions of people the chance to move to the U.S. for the first time. People like our co-founder, Manjusha Kulkarni.

On this day in 1965, President Johnson signed the Hart-Celler Act. It ended the racist โ€œimmigration quotasโ€ that kept Asian immigrants out, and it opened the door for millions of people around the world to call the U.S. home. People like me.

Judge Rules Trump Unlawfully Targeted Noncitizens Over Pro-Palestinian Speech In a blistering opinion, a federal judge in Boston said the Trump administration used the threat of deportations to systematically intimidate certain campus demonstrators into silence.

A federal judge is putting the Trump regime under fire for its unlawful attacks on pro-Palestinian student protestors โ€” including Korean immigrant Yunseo Chung, Indian immigrant Badar Khan Suri, and several other people of color.

Trumpโ€™s anti-immigrant agenda aims to diminish Asian communities in size and power โ€“ and the attack on H-1B visas is just the latest move to threaten our safety and our very existence in this country.

From Day 1, Trump has been fighting to keep Asians out of the U.S. by attacking our most common pathways to building lives in America โ€” restricting birthright citizenship, revoking student visas, and now imposing an extreme fee for H-1B applicants.

India sends more skilled workers to the US than any other country. Trumpโ€™s visa hike has sparked panic | CNN A wave of panic and confusion has spread through Indian communities and the global tech industry, following US President Donald Trumpโ€™s surprise order imposing a $100,000 fee for the H-1B visa,โ€ฆ

Youโ€™ve probably heard about Trumpโ€™s outrageous new $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applicants, but did you know that 73% of them are from India and 12% are from China?

This attack on the H-1B visa program is an attack on Asian communities, and hereโ€™s why that matters. โฌ‡๏ธ

Trump's attacks on immigrants are not new. Our Asian elders are the living proof.

For descendants of people wrongfully imprisoned on Angel Island during the early 1900's and in Japanese incarceration camps during World War II, Trump's ICE raids are a painful reminder that our work isn't done. โฌ‡๏ธ

Texas now restricts Chinese nationals from buying property. Is it alien land laws all over again? Senate Bill 17 prohibits many people and businesses from China, Iran, Russia and North Korea from buying most types of real estate

Texas has officially turned back the clock on our civil rights by denying home ownership to thousands of Asian immigrants. According to state lawmakers, Texas SB 17 will "protect national security", but in reality, it will fuel hate and discrimination against Asian Texans for years to come. ๐Ÿงตโฌ‡๏ธ
