We’ve Prepared Over 1,000 DACA Applications Since 2012!
In 2016, we hit a milestone of 1,000 DACA applications since the program began in 2012. While we are in a bittersweet time as this program is in danger of ending under the Trump administration, we’re proud to have helped so many young Americans and their families by assisting with the intense document preparation needed to participate in DACA. By gaining protection from deportation and work authorization, our undocumented friends and family have been able to drive, get better jobs, travel by airplane, and even travel outside the country and return.

APA VOICE Makes Over 100,000 Voter Contacts

- We organized two cross-state phone banking sessions, leveraging the language capacities of our coalition to reach Asian voters in North Carolina and Florida, where we knew every vote counted.
- We used a text-messaging service to engage voters and answer questions about the elections for the first time.
