Power Hour Series: Do You Fit the Description?
In the midst of a national debate around racial profiling by police and its deadly consequences, California is taking bold steps forward. Alliance San Diego invites you to join us for our August Power Hour, which will be a forum on understanding and addressing racial profiling. The forum will provide a space for dialog on how racial profiling affects us here in San Diego and what steps we can take to address it. We will also have a discussion on recent policy developments aimed at tackling the problem of racial profiling. Food and refreshments will be provided. Click here to RSVP!

DACA Anniversary Kicks Off Push to Enroll Asian Youth
As we commemorate the four-year anniversary of President Obama's executive order, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), we urge Asian Pacific Islander (API) youth to apply for the DACA program. Launched in 2012, DACA provides an exemption from deportation and a renewable two-year work permit. While the program has provided a better life for thousands of undocumented youth in San Diego County and across the nation, the API community has the lowest rate of enrollment. More than 80 percent of eligible undocumented youth from Mexico have applied, but only 20 percent of Koreans and Filipinos have done so. Ready Now San Diego is a project of Alliance San Diego, with the support of the San Diego Immigrant Rights Consortium and other partners that focus on advocacy, education, and services in support of immigrant families.
