U.S.Citizenship Applications fees are expected to increase & it’s really important to apply before the fees go up
The fees are already $725 per person, but with the Trump administration’s proposal, filing fees are expected to increase.
Start the process now! Join us on Nov.16

"The narrative surrounding these kinds of bans plays on racial stereotypes & inaccurate assumptions that sex-selective abortions may be more prevalent in #Asian communities & that those ideals are being brought here, said Sital Kalantry"

[NBC Asian America @NBCAsianAmerica]

Over the last decade, a wave of legislation targeting sex-selective abortions have passed into law. Here's why reproductive rights advocates say those measures unfairly target Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

@gfbnec @latimes @JACL_National @jamuseum @jaccc_la @manzanarcomm It’s interesting that @latimes keeps giving a venue to these opinions, when they have already disavowed their support for the illegal incarceration of Japanese Americans in 1942 https://t.co/Lv6I2BsnAT

[Go For Broke National Education Center @gfbnec]

The @latimes recently ran a letter that asserted FDR issued EO 9066 to “protect citizens,” and that it was not an act that should evoke “shame.” Leaders from @JACL_National, @jamuseum, @jaccc_la, NCRR, @manzanarcomm & GFBNEC have responded in this op-ed: https://t.co/SLmIVrzAva
