Health Reform Campaign
Our broken health care system has produced a health care crisis for the Korean American community. Nationally, Korean Americans are known to have the highest uninsured rate of 52% among all ethnicities. Many are denied access to public health programs because of their immigration status, and even more cannot afford expensive private health insurance, or their employers do not offer health coverage. Korean Americans seek fewer preventive services, receive less care for chronic illnesses, and face cultural and linguistic barriers that perpetuate race-based health disparities. As a result, the health of Korean Americans have worsened. We need a healthier tomorrow today! Sign a petition asking President Obama and Members of Congress for a just health reform policy.

Tip: Include bill numbers in blog posts to be listed on OpenCongress.org

posted by Yongho Kim, 2 weeks ago

Pro migrant bloggers everywhere,

The Sunlight Foundation has been operating OpenCongress.org , a mashup about congress stuff. The website has had a “blog coverage” section for bills for some time now. I don’t think it’s a high-traffic site yet, but I think it has the potential to be one, and your blog postings will get listed here if they include the right bill numbers (e.g. S. 729 for the DREAM Act).

So my recomm is include bill numbers when you post about immigration reform legislation!

Calling for Volunteers to Assist Foreclosure Prevention Fair

2 weeks ago

In the midst of the economic crisis, many homeowners are in risk of foreclosure. In particular, Korean American homeowners in Southern California face higher risk of foreclosure than other communities and this is exacerbated by the lack of education and counseling resources to assist people in determining their best options to protect their families and homes. We need your help as we seek interpreters and ushers to volunteer for the upcoming foreclosure prevention fair.

What: Interpreting and ushering volunteers needed for Foreclosure Prevention Fair
When: Saturday, June 27, 2009, 9:00 to 3PM (10 to 2PM for the general public)
Where: Panorama High School, 8015 Van Nuys Blvd., Panorama City, CA 91402
