CAA was founded in 1969 to protect the civil and political rights of Chinese Americans and to advance multiracial democracy in the United States. Today, CAA is a progressive voice in and on behalf of the broader Asian and Pacific American community. We advocate for systemic change that protects immigrant rights, promotes language diversity, and remedies racial injustice.

FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Friends, 2009 was a tremendous year. We celebrated our 40th anniversary, served thousands of residents, achieved great success in advancing our policy agenda, and continued to support progressive movement building in our community. The year was as productive as it was busy, and we were once again reminded of just how much is possible when good people come together for great causes. As we look to the future, we cannot fully express the imense gratitude we feel towards our friends, supporters, and allies who have made everything we do possible. For forty years, CAA has been a very special place and a true community effort. We have all of you to thank for that.

INCE 1969 CAA has fought to defend civil rights and promote social change. Our work has met direct community needs, provided leadership on pressing civil rights issues, and supported broader progressive movement building in our community. By challenging the status quo, building coalitions, and prioritizing the needs of the marginalized, we have achieved forty years of progressive change that have made our society more inclusive and just for everyone.
1969 CAA is founded by young activists grounded in the civil rights and Third World organizing movements. Their work is part of a broader generational and political upheaval to challenge the status quo and achieve social change.

COMMUNITY BUILDING “Joining VVPA has taught me that immigrants have
rights and that we need to always advocate for them. I have learned that in order to create change we must unite to make our voices stronger. And I am learning more about my school district so I can stay involved.” — Mei Chin, VVPA member
WHILE CELEBRATING our landmark 40th anniversary in 2009, we focused our work in three core areas: community building; issue advocacy on immigrant rights, language diversity, and racial justice; and efforts to promote social change.
At the grassroots, CAA community building nurtures the ability of immigrants to participate in civic life. In 2009, our employment services assisted hundreds of newcomers seeking employment and training in sustainable careers. We also assisted special efforts in San Francisco Chinatown, such as the launch of the Neighborhood Workforce Center, hiring for the renovation of the YMCA, and monitoring to increase local hiring in the construction of a permanent City College campus. In its sixth year, our Visitacion Valley Parents Association (VVPA) continues to be a model of leadership development in immigrant communities. VVPA parents worked with the school district to improve the qual-
ity of education for their children, and with other City officials to include immigrants in decision-making that impacts their lives. VVPA played major roles in Immigrant Family Day and cross-cultural dialogues in Southeast San Francisco to encourage understanding between different communities of color. On a wide range of issues, CAA was a go-to source for information and education through the media and community outreach. We were featured or quoted in hundreds of articles in mainstream and ethnic media, and we also conducted a series of workshops on immigration law. Following a barrage of intense election-related activities in 2008, in 2009 our civic engagement efforts helped residents communicate more directly with their elected officials.
VVPA members met with City officials during the 2009 Immigrant Family Day to testify on the need for continuing immigration services.

在2009年當我們慶祝成立四十周年的里程的同時，我們的工作集中於三個核心領域：社區建設、促進移民權利議題、語言多元 化、種族正義、和促進社會改變。 在草根層面，華促會的社區建設培育移民參與公民生活的能力。
擔任重要角色，鼓勵不同有色人種社區的互相了解。
在2009年，我們的就業服務協助數百名新移民尋找可持續的 工作和訓練。我們同時在三藩市華埠協助推行特別的工作， 例如推出社區工作力中心、為修建男青年會聘請工作人員、 和監察市立大學華埠永久分校工程聘請本地人工作之情況。
在較大的議題方面，華促會通過傳媒和社區外展，是提供資訊 和教育的來源。主流和少數民族傳媒報導和引用我們評論的文 章有數百篇，而我們同時亦舉行一系列有關移民法的講習會。 隨著2008年接二連三與選舉有關的活動，我們在2009年的公 民參與工作幫助居民更直接地與他們的民選官員溝通。
今年是訪谷家長會（VVPA）第六年繼續其在移民社區推行領導 發展的模範。訪谷家長會與校區合作，改善他們子女教育的質 素，並與其他市府官員合作，在影響他們生活的決策中，包括移 民在內。訪谷家長會三藩市東南區的移民家庭日和跨文化對話中

IMMIGRANT RIGHTS “CAA’s participation in SFILEN has been critical in building a
citywide, cross-cultural network of immigrant services and, most importantly, helping develop a genuine and diverse community of immigrants in San Francisco.” — Eric Quezada, Executive Director of Dolores Street Community Services
Comprehensive immigration reform remained elusive in 2009 while conservative media narratives continued to vilify immigrant communities. In this context, the need to protect immigrant rights was greater than ever. Throughout the year, CAA worked to protect the Sanctuary Ordinance and to fully implement the City Identification Card program in San Francisco so that all immigrants can contribute to civic life and access public services without fear. We joined allies to help restore due process for immigrant youth in the juvenile justice system.

Our campaign for a
permanent City College of San Francisco campus in Chinatown moved forward with
groundbreaking for the project and the start of construction, and campus doors are scheduled to open in 2011.

LETTER FROM A CAA CLIENT
Dear CAA: Because my English skills are limited, I can only use Chinese to express my wholehearted thanks to all the staff at CAA. Thank you all for your complete commitment to helping Chinese Americans, especially us working class individuals who do not speak English, gain legal rights and equal opportunities in American society. You do this without seeking reward or compensation and because of that you have made tremendous contributions. Finding a job during the current world economic crisis is especially hard, but employment advocate Elaine Ng worked conscientiously to help me find a job through the internet. She organized my resume, filled out several applications for me online, and never once showed impatience or annoyance. Her efforts gave me a chance to interview at an American company! In another instance, when I faced unfair treatment at work, Ms. Ng helped me translate into English a complaint letter that I had written in Chinese. She offered this help enthusiastically and worked overtime to 6:35 p.m. until the long letter was translated. She sacrificed her personal time to help me and never once complained. If I did not have her help I would never have had a chance to express my grievance at work. Community advocate Michelle Yeung also works very hard for Chinese Americans. She is helping me to sponsor a relative for immigration to the United States. Ms. Yeung translated government forms and documents for me and very patiently explained everything. Amidst her busy schedule she even accompanied me to the immigration office to serve as my interpreter. One time, she canceled an appointment with her friend to help me call the immigration office so I can check on the status of my application. Because she helped me I was able to understand the complicated visa process. Through all her efforts, Ms.Yeung is really protecting Chinese American’s legal rights in the immigration process. Without everyone at CAA’s continuous help, we working class residents would not be able to live a normal life in the US. Again, I want to express my deeply felt gratitude, especially to Elaine Ng and Michelle Yeung, the two dedicated staff members who take their jobs seriously and work with selflessness and commitment. There is no comparison. Their dedication is priceless and deserves to be recognized. Sincerely, Shi Ji Liang
2009 CAA Annual Report
一 名 華 促 會 求 助 者 的 來 信 華促會: 由於我的英文水平很差, 現只能用中文來表示我對華人權益促進會全體工作人員表示衷心感謝。感謝你們全 心全意盡職盡責, 不計報酬幫助華人, 特別是英文水平較差的勞工階層, 在美國社會獲得各方面合法權益平等 機會， 作出了巨大的貢獻。 特別是現在全球經濟低微的情況下， 找一份工作不容易。 但職業顧問伍苡玲工作勤勤懇懇，認真，負責， 為我們在網上尋找工作, 整理工作履歷表。 多次在網上填寫工作申請表， 不厭其煩， 使我有機會在西人公 司面試。 另一方面， 當我在工作中受到不公平對待的時候， 我寫了一份中文的投訴信請她幫我翻譯成英 文。 她很樂意並抽時間進行翻譯。 由於內容比較多， 她加班到 6:35pm 完成。 犧牲了她的休息時間也毫無 怨言。 假如沒有她在英文方面的幫助， 我將會投訴無門。 社區顧問楊敏思為華人服務敬敬業業, 忘我工作。 我申請親戚移民來美的信都請她代為翻釋。 她講解耐心， 在百忙中抽出寶貴的時間幫我去移民局當翻譯， 及時了解箇中的問題。 有一次她還取消了自己與朋友預約 的時間，幫助我直接打電話給移民局了解我的案件進程，維護了我們在移民方面合法的權益。沒有你們華促 會全體成員的幫助，不懈的努力，就沒有我們一群勞工階層在美國正常的生活。在此再次向你們表示最衷心 的感謝，特別是職業顧問伍苡玲和社區顧問楊敏思兩位工作人員。工作認真，負責，無私奉獻的精神，更加 難能可貴，值得表揚。 谨上 梁世紀 Mr. Liang (center) with CAA staff members Michelle Yeung (left) and Elaine Ng. 梁世紀先生和華促會職員楊敏思(左)和伍苡玲。

LANGUAGE DIVERSITY “CAA has been a strong supporter of the Chinatown Families Economic Self-Sufficiency Coalition (CFESC) since 2004. We deeply appreciate the thoughtful and active leadership of CAA staff in our collaborative work. Their participation has helped move Chinese immigrant families forward on the path to economic success.” — Sarah Wan, Executive Director of CYC and CFESC Co-Chair
Promoting a society in which language diversity is seen as a strength and not a weakness has been a cornerstone of our work since 1969. Today, nearly half of San Francisco households speak a language other than English and we work to ensure that the City is able to engage with all of its residents. In 2009, CAA produced and released
the language access report Access Deferred: Progress, Challenges and Opportunities that documented the in-
teraction of over 300 limited-English proficient Chinese- and Spanish-speakers with the San Francisco public schools, the San Francisco police department, and San Francisco career development programs. The report showed that, despite some strong policies being in place, in practice many interpretation and translation protocols were not being followed by City agencies.
2009 CAA Annual Report
To address this problem, CAA worked with community allies, the Board of Supervisors, and the Mayor to pass amendments to the Equal Access to Services Ordinance. The changes will require additional departments such as City Hall and the Airport to communicate with the public in multiple languages, begin assessing the needs of smaller language communities such as those that speak Vietnamese,Tagalog, and Korean, and tie compliance of language access to the City’s budget process. At CAA’s 2009 membership meeting, we held elected officials accountable to critical civil rights issues by inviting newly elected Supervisors David Chiu, Eric Mar, and Carmen Chu to a discussion on immigrant rights, marriage equality, and language diversity. 在華促會2009年的會員會議中，我們確保民選官員對重要的民權議題 負責，邀請新當選的市參事邱信福、馬兆光、和朱嘉文討論移民權 利、婚姻平等、和語言多元化。
語 言 多 元 化
促進一個語言多元化的社會，是我們自1969年成立以來工作 基礎的強項。今天，三藩市近一半的家庭都是講英語以外的 其他語言，而我們致力確保本市能參與所有其居民。 在2009年，華促會編發一份語言方便報告Access Deferred: Progress, Challenges and Opportunities（使用延遲：進展、 挑戰、和機會），紀錄300多名不熟諳英語的華裔和西班牙語 裔與三藩市公校、警察局、和就業發展計劃互動的情況。報 告顯示雖然政府部門設有有力的政策，但在實踐方面，仍有 很多部門未有遵守提供傳譯和翻譯的服務。 為解決此問題，華促會和社區盟友、市議會、以及市長合
作，通過修訂平等使用服務法令。此改變規定市府的其他部 門和機場須用多種語言與公眾交流、開始評估其他人數較少 的少數民族語言方便情況，例如講越南語、菲律賓語、和韓 語的社區，以及在市府的預算過程中包括遵守語言方便所需 的預算。
CAA organized a press conference with community allies and San Francisco Supervisors David Campos and David Chiu in 2009 to highlight the need for stronger language access laws in San Francisco. 華促會與社區盟友及三藩市市議會員David Campos和邱信福於2009年舉 行一個記者招待會，促進公眾對通過平等使用服務法令修訂之認識和 支持。
“自2004年以來華促會一直是華埠經濟自立同盟的有力支持者。我們十分感謝華促會職 員在我們的合作計劃之深思和活躍領導力。他們的參與，幫助推動華人移民在經濟成功 之路前進。” — 溫靜婷，CYC社區青年中心行政主任和CFESC共同主席 19
RACIAL JUSTICE “The leadership of CAA was of great assistance to the 2010 Census. They helped us identify ways to add non-English languages to key materials. We are hopeful this will lead to a better count of key populations.” — Robert Groves, Director of the United States Census Bureau Institutional discrimination continues to hinder access to equal opportunities for racial minorities in many sectors of society. Historically, the US Census has failed to accurately or fully count minority communities. As a result, minority communities have consistently had their voting power diluted and received less than their fair share of government services and resources. In 2009, CAA continued four decades of
addressing systemic discrimination in the US Census. In the
past year, we successfully led a critical effort to reverse national Census policy that would have eliminated multi-lingual messages from key correspondence between the Census Bureau and residents across the country. Despite initial suggestions from the Bureau that our efforts would not be successful, we prevailed
by working strategically with community allies and elected officials. In San Francisco, CAA won a commitment from local government to allocate funding for community-based outreach to promote Census participation in hardto-count communities. CAA also organized the San Francisco Yes We Count Coalition, a unique multiracial and culturally competent collaborative of thirteen groups who will encourage the City’s diverse populations to participate in Census. Fairness in higher education admissions was another
familiar issue that resurfaced in 2009: the University of California Board of Regents approved a new freshman eligibility and admissions policy that would dramatically reduce the number of UC-eligible African American, Asian American, and Latino admittees, according to UC’s own simulation. Seeing that it passed without sufficient community input and with no initial studies, CAA spoke out and organized the entire Asian Pacific Islander Legislative Caucus in Sacramento to request that the UC delay action, and then enlisted the support of the California Coalition for Civil Rights to request that the policy be rescinded. CAA continues this work in 2010 to ensure diversity at UC. CAA organized an urgent community briefing in 2009 to alert the public to the drastic changes being made to UC eligibility and admissions policy. Speaking at the briefing was (left to right) Ling-chi Wang, Vincent Pan, Phil Ting, and Henry Der. 華促會在2009年組織一個緊急社區匯報會，告訴公 眾加大入學資格和錄取政策之重大改變。在此匯報 會中發言的有（左至右）王靈智、潘偉旋、丁右 立、和謝國器。
2009 CAA Annual Report
種 族 正 義
制度性的歧視，在社會很多行業中，仍然阻礙了少數民族的 平等機會。 美國人口普查過去一直沒有準確或充份的計算少數民族社 區。因此，少數民族社區的選舉權力一直被稀釋，他們從政 府取得的服務和資源因之亦較少。 在2009年，華促會繼續四十年處理美國人口普查之系統性歧 視。去年，我們成功領導重要的工作，倒轉人口普查政策， 該政策本來在人口普查與居民的主要通訊中，沒有包括多種 語言的信息。雖然人口普查局開始時的建議令我們的工作看 來未見成功，但在和社區盟友及民選官員策略性合作下，我 們終於取得要求。 在三藩市，華促會贏得本地政府承諾撥款用於一個社區外展 計劃，以促進較難計算的社區參與人口普查。華促會同時組 織San Francisco Yes We Count Coalition聯盟，這是一個獨 特的由十三個不同種族和文化團體組成的聯盟，將鼓勵本市
多元化的人口參與人口普查。 公平的大學錄取政策是2009年再次出現大家均熟悉的一個議 題：加州大學評議會通過新生的資格和錄取政策，根據加大 本身的模擬，將大幅減少符合入加大資格的非裔、亞裔、以 及拉丁裔。此政策之通過，未經足夠徵詢社區之意見，同時 未有初步之研究，華促會因而予以抨擊，並組織沙加緬度的 整個亞太裔立法聯議會，要求加大延遲行動，然後徵求加州 民權同盟的支持，要求加大撤銷該政策。華促會在2010年將 繼續此工作，確保加大的多元化。

“華促會的領導對2010年人口普查協助極大。他們幫助我們識別在重要材料中增加非英 語語言的方法。我們希望此可引致更準確的計算重要人口。” — 美國人口普查區局長Robert Groves 21
PROMOTING SOCIAL CHANGE “Before attending the Speakers’ Bureau I was opposed to LGBTIQ people and their lifestyles. But after hearing the difficulties that these individuals face, I felt respect and wanted to listen to their experiences.” — Participant in API Equality’s Speakers’ Bureau Through Asian Americans for Civil Rights and Equality (AACRE) and API Equality, CAA continues to promote social change on new issues and through new strategies. Led by CAA in partnership with the Asian Law Caucus and the Asian Pacific American Legal Center, in 2009 AACRE sponsored bills to give limited-English proficient (LEP) parents the right to bring interpreters to school meetings, require the state’s emergency preparedness response and recovery systems to include LEP communities in their planning, improve working conditions for nail salon workers through data collection and analysis, and support removing barriers to immigration by permanent same-sex couples. Though AACRE successfully moved three bills through the legislature to the Governor’s desk, the Governor ultimately vetoed these bills while another became a two-year bill.
Working within a very difficult budget year, AACRE was nonetheless successful in protecting programs that serve the most vulnerable members of the Asian Pacific Islander community, including the
poor, elderly, and the infirm. AACRE also once again hosted the annual API Policy Summit in Sacramento, drawing hundreds of community leaders and decision makers to discuss and learn about key policy issues in our state. In the aftermath of the passage of Proposition 8, the ban on same-sex marriages in California, API Equality renewed efforts to win hearts and minds in favor of fair treatment and acceptance of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning people. Through a new Speakers’ Bureau to facilitate
direct, personal conversations, API Equality emphasized the reduction of homophobia while continuing to find new allies in support of marriage equality. API Equality played a leadership role in statewide legal and political strategy seeking to overturn Proposition 8 in California.
API Equality participated in the 2009 San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade to raise visibility on the issue of marriage equality in the API community. 亞裔平等聯盟參加2009年 三藩市農曆新年遊行，提 高人們對亞太裔社區婚姻 平等議題之能見度。 2009 CAA Annual Report
促 進 社 會 改 變
通過亞裔促進民權和平等計劃（AACRE）和亞裔平等聯盟 (API Equality)，華促會繼續在新議題和通過新策略，促進社 會改變。 在華促會和亞洲法律聯議會及亞太裔法律中心合作領導 下，AACRE在2009年提出三項法案，讓不熟識英語的家長有 權帶傳譯出席學校會議、規定州的緊急應變準備回應和恢復 系統在其計劃中包括不熟諳英語的社區、通過收集數據和分 析改善修甲工作者之情況、和支持取消同性伴侶移民限制。 雖然AACRE在立法議會成功的通過此三個法案，但最後州長 否決了這些提案，有一個則成為兩年的法案。 在一個預算十分困難的年頭裡，AACRE仍然成功的保護服 務亞太裔社區最脆弱人口的計劃，包括窮人、長者、和虛弱 者。AACRE同時再次在沙加緬度主持一年一度的亞太裔政策
峰會，吸引了數百名社區領袖和決策者出席，討論和認識我 們社區的主要政策議題。 在通過第八號提案於加州禁止同性婚姻之後，API Equality 重新努力，以爭取人們公平對待和接受男女同性戀人、雙 性戀人、和變性者的心態和想法。通過一個新的演講者小 組促進直接和個人的交流，API Equality強調減少人們對 同性戀之恐懼，同時繼續尋找支持婚姻平等的新盟友。API Equality在全州推翻第八提案之法律和政治策略工作中，擔 任領導的角色。
California State Controller John Chiang was the plenary speaker for the 2009 API Policy Summit. 加州州審計長江俊輝是2009年亞太裔政策峰會的大會演講人。
“未參加演講人小組之前我是反對男女同性戀雙性戀和變性者的人。但在聽到這些人面對 的妨礙之後，我感到尊重，希望傾聽他們的經驗。” — 亞裔平等聯盟演講人小組參與者 23
