2. Donate to San Diego Asian Americans for Equality to prepare a lawsuit challenging the wording of ACA-5 in the upcoming election in November:
While we fight each step of the legislative process, it is time to prepare the worst: ballot campaign, due to approaching deadlines for hiring lawyers. Nine organizations (SVCA, AACE, TOCF, CACAOC, AIB2B,HQH,CCCCA, and TVAA, SDAAFE) have joined the force to call for this donation across the entire nation.
Please read the details of the fundraising drive at:
