Convenings & Trainings National Leadership Summit
143 leaders of local LGBT API organizations came together
for NQAPIA’s National Leadership Summit in Las Vegas, NV in August, to network, learn about current issues, share strategies, build infrastructure, and forge collaborative programs.

Trainings included organizational & leadership development, fundraising, and capacity building. Briefings on key issues on immigrants’ rights, LGBT equality, health & wellness, API LGBT data with CMI, and Census. Workshops covered the Rise of the Right in our communities, family acceptance, and religious acceptance. Together we brainstormed new campaigns and initiatives.
We took action on the LGBTQ Equality Act to outlaw discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender-identity as well as the Reuniting Families Act to preserve family-based immigration and expand visas for workers. We phone banked and text banked 4,500 people to contact their Members of Congress to support these bills.

Convenings & Trainings POP Youth Training Camp
API Equality - Northern California (APIENC) and NQAPIA partnered on a national 3 day intensive LGBTQ API training camp in the Bay Area for young LGBTQ API leaders from around the country in July.
LGBTQ API youth activists built relationships, deepened their politicization through learning about history, and were trained in values-based organizing to further immigrants’ rights, racial justice, and LGBTQ API organizing.
7
Lillian (she/her or they/them) said, “POP Camp was one of the few spaces where I felt supported, seen, and challenged all at once.” August Park (they/ them) said, “It’s an experience I’ll hold with me forever. POP Camp gave me the skills to become a more effective activist, and the support to show me that I am not alone.”
Fighting for our Rights Immigrant Rights Action at ICE in Atlanta
NQAPIA led a national campaign against ICE to stop placing transgender detainees into solitary confinement. Solitary is a heightened form of punishment and has been deemed to be a form of torture in violation of human rights.
Over the past year, NQAPIA has supported transgender detainees in solitary through regular phone calls, legal advocacy, and a notecard campaign where community members sent messages of affirmation and encouragement. In February, NQAPIA led a protest in front of the ICE Regional Office in Atlanta demanding the fair treatment and release of transgender detainees in solitary. Joined by Southerners on New Ground, The Black LGBTQIA+ Migrant Project at TLC, South Asian Americans Leading Together, and
Asian Americans Advancing Justice, together we demanded that ICE: • • •
Terminate use of solitary confinement for all transgender detainees. Ensure that transgender detainees receive proper medical care. Release transgender detainees to their LGBTQ API community on parole. There should be alternatives to detention.

Fighting for our Rights Immigrant Rights Action at ICE in Atlanta
Defending California’s Sanctuary Laws from Trump NQAPIA urged the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in U.S. v. California to block the Trump Administration’s challenge to California’s sanctuary laws. The laws regulate state employers and law enforcement to protect undocumented immigrants from federal harassment and abuse. NQAPIA, with the pro bono legal assistance of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, submitted an amicus (“friend of the court”) brief illustrating how suspending California’s sanctuary laws would have a direct and outsized impact on the LGBTQ community. The brief was joined by 11 California organizations, include: APAIT, APIELA, APIENC, GAPA, NRJ, OFC, Trikone, UTOPIA SF, VietROC, and the LA and SF LGBT Centers.

LGBT Immigrants’ Rights: Lobbying Congress to Pass the Reuniting Families Act
NQAPIA is working with the Value Our Families Coalition to urge Congress to pass the LGBTinclusive Reuniting Families Act of 2019. Sponsored by Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA), the Act preserves our nation’s family-based immigration system and improves the family reunification process, reduces visa backlogs, and increases visa caps.
Family-based immigration is the primary way that APIs have immigrated to the United States. 82% of Asians immigrate to the US through family immigration. But severe backlogs have left family members in Asia waiting as long as 9 to 22 years to be reunited.
The bill is LGBT inclusive and has specific protections for LGBT immigrant families, such as binational couples, LGBT asylum seekers and refugees in same-sex relationships, and LGBT parents of foreign-born children.
10
Fighting for our Rights Defending DACA and Protecting LGBTQ Dreamers NQAPIA urged the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. With the pro bono legal assistance of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo PC, NQAPIA submitted an amicus brief that highlighted the special concerns of LGBTQ API DACA recipients. Trump vowed to cancel DACA but he has been blocked by federal courts. The cancellation of DACA will take away employment and educational opportunities for 36,000 LGBT and 16,000 API DACA recipients mostly from South Korea, the Philippines, India, and Pakistan. An estimated 75,000 LGBT and 169,000 APIs are eligible for DACA. The brief shows the Court, and the public, how more is at stake for LGBT DACA recipients because many come from countries where homosexuality is a crime. Trump’s cancellation of DACA could result in not only a deportation, but also imprisonment or a death sentence.
Pride with Purpose: LGBTQ Equality Act Nearly 1 in 3 Asians (30%) in the U.S. live in states where they are at risk of being fired, refused housing or denied services simply because they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender. NQAPIA is urging Congress to pass the comprehensive LGBTQ Equality Act (H.R. 5) to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, credit, education, public spaces and services, and federally funded programs. During World Pride in New York in June and Pride in Atlanta in October, we capitalized on the thousands of people coming into those cities and collected over 3,600 signed postcards to Congress for the LGBTQ Equality Act.

Visibility & Acceptance God, Shiva, Allah, Buddha, Jesus Loves LGBT APIs
NQAPIA launched a new campaign to promote religious acceptance of LGBT people in API communities. So many of us were raised in spiritual traditions. Yet, some religious leaders have damned us or we abandon those faiths when we come out. We can be LGBT, a person of faith, and API all at the same time.
To combat these falsehoods, NQAPIA unveiled a new set of resources for LGBT Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, and Sikhs that are culturally competent and specific for APIs. We launched a series of religious acceptance workshops in NY, DC, Chicago, and Las Vegas. The workshops featured 19
speakers from Progressive Asian American Christian Conference (PAAC), Churches and Temples, and Karen and Glenn Murakami, parents of gay sons.
LGBT Family Acceptance Workshops in Japan
In Japan during Pride Month, NQAPIA organized an international tour of powerful LGBT Family Acceptance Workshops in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Sapporo. Local hosts included Kodomap, Nijiiro Kazoku, University of Tsukuba Center for Diversity, Showa High School in Nagoya, ASTA, DOCOMO, Rainbow Family Sapporo, City of Sapporo Equality Center, Nijiiro Smile, and the US Consulate General in Sapporo. The workshops provided peer-support and culturally-congruent guidance to support Japanese parents to support their LGBT children. At the workshops, Japanese and Japanese-American parents of LGBTQ kids Marsha Aizumi and Aya Yabe shared their personal stories.

Strengthening our Community NQAPIA Strategic Plan, 2019 – 2023
We unveiled NQAPIA’s 3-5 year Strategic Plan. The plan announces strategic priorities to help guide the growth and development of the organization from 2019 through •
to be more responsive in a new political climate and to advance organizing.
•
recommits NQAPIA to our original founding mission to cultivate smaller all-volunteer local LGBT API groups.
•
shifts our work to be less transactional and more transformative.
The plan was developed over a year with extensive input from member groups and partners and introspection from Board and staff. We will link local communities and their work to national LGBTQ, API and social justice efforts. NQAPIA will build a national QTAPI political perspective and work actively and intentionally to combine and amplify a collective voice that promotes pro-QTAPI policy change. NQAPIA will support member groups—especially those with limited resources and opportunities—in their political education, leadership development, and organizing training, while also serving as a primary coordinator for national issue-based LGBTQ API campaigns.

Partnering with AARP on Prescription Drugs NQAPIA is launching a new partnership with AARP to rein in the high costs of prescription drugs. Many LGBT APIs need medications to stay healthy, address mental illness, control HIV/ AIDS, or to fully live our gender with the help of hormones. NQAPIA is collecting stories from across the country to use for our upcoming advocacy campaign.
NQAPIA at the Library of Congress The United States Library of Congress selected NQAPIA’s website for inclusion in the Library’s historic collection of Internet materials related to the LGBTQ+ Politics Web Archive. The Library preserves important cultural artifacts and provides enduring access to them.
