Dear Community Leaders and Organizers,
Happy New Year! We warmly invite you to a community briefing session, which will be held by the Asian Pacific Islander Coalition (APIC) of King County, next week on January 12, Tuesday, 5:30 pm at Asian Counseling & Referral Service (ACRS), at 3639 Martin Luther King Jr. Way S. (cross streets Walden and Charlestown, about 4 blocks south of Franklin High School) in Seattle. We will gather at 5:30 with light refreshments; the program will be from 6:00pm - 7:00pm. If you arrive after 6:00 pm our lobby door by the parking lot will be closed; please use our first floor entrance at the end of our garden path on Martin Luther King Jr. Way .
The briefing will be held on the issues our community will advocate at the upcoming February 4, 2010 Asian Pacific American (APA) Legislative Day event in Olympia , WA . On that day, thousands from our community will go to Olympia to talk with our legislators about issues of concern to us. APA Legislative Day is for our entire community, for all generations of Asian Pacific American immigrants, refugees, and citizens throughout the state. Our state is facing a $2.6 billion budget deficit, and it will be more important than ever to share our concerns with our legislators to preserve programs important to our community.
We will propose advocating on issues important to the well being of our community, such as keeping our health and human services safety net intact, protecting our rights, and raising revenues to address the state budget deficit. Materials on APA Legislative Day and the issues will be available at the meeting. We hope you will share the briefing and materials with your own organization and community in preparation for APA Legislative Day.
Please call Joanne Cheung at 205 695-7582 or e-mail her at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it by January 11 to let her know if you plan to attend and are bringing others, so that she can make the proper seating and refreshment arrangements.
