WATCH: PHILANTHROPY AND THE ECONOMY: PRIORITIZING COMMUNITIES, NOT SACRIFICING DEMOCRACY

$1.25 per day. According to the World Bank, this is what defines “extreme poverty” – a condition that describes the lives of at least1.4 billion people, globally.

And with the most severe income inequality in generations and a widening gap between the nation’s wealthiest and its least, especially among immigrant and refugee communities, is this how we build a democracy?

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Civic Engagement Fund for AMEMSA Communities

As part of our advocacy efforts, AAPIP has compiled these Fact Sheets to share
information about 1) diverse AMEMSA communities, which includes data from California and 2) some of the domestic
policies that impact AMEMSA communities.

These Fact Sheets were compiled by scanning existing data and research that is available online. Even if it is not perfect, it’s an attempt to compile a first layer of information for those who are interested in learning more about AMEMSA communities and what policies
impact their lives.

VIET Fellows Program

AAPIP's Vietnam Involvement & Engagement Tour (VIET) Fellows program invests in the leadership of young Vietnamese Americans in order to improve the quality of life of communities in the US & Vietnam. Learn more  at www.VIETfellows.org »
