As a child growing up in Hong Kong, Jose Ng attended protests with his father. He didn’t think much of it at the time, but now as CAA’s Immigrant Rights Sr. Program Manager, he realizes how this childhood experience shaped his sense of justice and the work he does today.

When we fight, we WIN! After phonebanking for #Yeson50 in Chinatown for weeks, writing 20+ Chinese-language articles, and organizing press conferences in both SF and LA, we WON #Yeson50!

None of this could be possible without our suporters and volunteers — thank you!

Community leaders and City Attorney David Chiu gathered in Chinatown today to say #YESon50!

This year, Trump imposed illegal tariffs and arrested thousands of people without warrants.

Vote YES on Prop 50 to stop him from hurting our AAPI communities even further! 🗳️

Confused about Prop 50? Texas state representative Gene Wu is here to share exactly why it's so important to vote #YESon50 if you care about saving our democracy, fair representation, and immigrant communities of color.

We can NOT allow Donald Trump to continue stealing Congressional seats.
October 8, 2025 at 2:49 PM
We need your help. Trump and his MAGA allies are already redrawing congressional maps to tilt the playing field in their favor.

We can't wait until it's too late. Help us fight for our democracy and our immigrant communities by phonebanking for Yes on 50!

Last night, the California State Legislature voted in support of a resolution reaffirming #birthrightcitizenship for all children born on U.S. soil under the 14th Amendment, in the face of Trump’s unlawful executive order.

Yesterday, California took a stand.

The State Senate passed AJR5, a resolution reaffirming California’s commitment to #birthrightcitizenship — the promise that anyone born here is a U.S. citizen.
