The Commission is committed to the revitalization of a progressive civil rights agenda at the national level. Its work is grounded in the belief that such an agenda benefits the entire country, not just particular interest groups. We must continue to struggle together to fight bias and invidious discrimination, to promote equality of opportunity in education, employment, and housing, to promote political and economic empowerment and to guarantee equal treatment in the administration of justice.

Front Page In This Week's Issue Subscribe Special ... About AsianWeek July 5-11, 1996 Still Pioneers A report from this year's OCA convention by Bill Wong From its humble beginnings 23 years ago, the Organization of Chinese Americans (OCA) has made considerable strides in being one of the more visible and active Asian American civil rights groups. Other such groups have been around a lot longer, like the Chinese American Citizens Alliance (CACA) and the Japanese American Citizens League, but at the moment OCA has become better known in the national political community. San Francisco-based Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA) is only a little older than OCA and also has a relatively high national political visibility. None has a monopoly on Asian American political and cultural interests, and no one should expect any one organization to have such an encompassing reach. Nonetheless, because OCA’s leaders view this as an important political year and because of California’s crucial role in the national political scene, the Washington, D.C.-based OCA held its 18th annual convention in San Francisco last weekend, hosted by five OCA chapters: San Francisco, the East Bay, Sacramento, San Mateo County, and Silicon Valley. Some 400 people registered for the convention and hundreds more drifted in and out of various sessions. About 500 attended the Friday night dinner saluting pioneers, and almost 800 squeezed into Saturday night’s dinner honoring community service luminaries. (Full disclosure requires me to reveal that I was among the "pioneer" honorees on Friday night, but more on that later.)

About AsianWeek October 30 - November 5, 1997 Senate Stalls Lee Confirmation Photo by Ruth Fremson/AP President Clinton welcomes Bill Lann Lee to the Oval Office shortly after his nomination for assistant attorney general for civil rights in June. Senate hearings stuck on affirmative action debate BY FRANK WU Nominated by President Bill Clinton in June, Bill Lann Lee would be a historic choice for assistant attorney general for civil rights, the top civil-rights post in the federal government. As the first Asian Pacific American to hold the job of ensuring equality for all citizens, many believe he would represent the future of race relations in this country. The 48-year old Lee, who heads the Los Angeles office of the Legal Defense and Educational Fund of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), has shown through his life's work that civil rights can be a universal cause rather than a special interest. In his opening statement delivered last week to the Senate Judiciary Committee, which must rule on his nomination before the Senate as a whole can consider it, Lee recalled that his father, a Chinese immigrant, served in the U.S. military but continued to face legal discrimination. Although he called his father his "hero," Lee said, "I confess that I found it difficult for a long time to appreciate his unflinching patriotism in the face of daily indignity. "I have learned from the individuals I have represented and from the experience of my family the importance of making a practical reality of the promise of our civil-rights laws," he continued. "These laws that protect all Americans regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, age, disability, or gender promise a lot. They promise inclusion and fairness. Without proper enforcement, however, the civil-rights laws are only empty promises. The Civil Rights Division, in my opinion, performs one of the most significant duties in our government."

The Context New York is the most diverse city on the planet, home to people of every race, nationality, language group, religion, sex, and sexual orientation, and to some of the world's premiere human rights groups.

But more amazing is how well such varied peoples have gotten along for hundreds of years. Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia created a Committee on Unity after some race riots in 1943, in order "to make New York City a place where people of all races and religions may work and live side by side in harmony and have mutual respect for each other, and where democracy is a living reality." Eventually, the city and state governments passed laws against discrimination and established agencies to enforce them. The Reporter James Wong writes frequently for the Village Voice.

Home Updated on September 12, 2005 Outsourcing Immigration Hate Crimes H-1B Visa ... U.S. Census ’The Asian American Vote 2004: A Report on the Multilingual Exit Poll in the 2004 Presidential Election’ 90% of South Asians polled supported Kerry last November By Ela Dutt According to a new analysis of an exit poll conducted by the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF) last Nov. 20, an overwhelming 86 percent of Indian American voters supported Senator John Kerry for President. The percentage rose among Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and Indo-Caribbean Americans. The results of these multilingual polls, says AALDEF, are significantly different from those conducted by mainstream polling organizations and, as a result, correct information about preferences of minorities may not be filtering up the system. In a detailed report released last week, kicking of the celebrations for Asian American Heritage Month in May, AALDEF released the new findings from its national multilingual exit poll of almost 11,000 Asian American voters in the November 2004 Presidential election, the largest nonpartisan survey of its kind in the nation, covering 20 cities in the states of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The South Asian section, which is contained in a report entitled ‘The Asian American Vote 2004: A Report on the Multilingual Exit Poll in the 2004 Presidential Election,’ provides a snapshot of the voter preferences of 2,636 South Asian respondents from across the nation. The survey of South Asians contained 525 Indians, 18 percent Bangladeshi, 15 percent Pakistanis, 14 percent Indo-Caribbean, and others (1 percent). About 88 percent of the survey population was foreign born and 17 percent had no formal education in the U.S. About 42 percent were first-time voters.
