Dear All:

You and your organization are cordially invited to join the effort of APAPA to support 1882 Project. APAPA（The Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Association）is a non-profit, non-partisan and grassroots organization founded in 2001 by C.C. Yin and a pioneering group of fellow civic-minded friends and community leaders. APAPA was established with the primary mission of empowering Asian Pacific Islander（API）Americans in civic and public affairs through education, active participation, and leadership development. You can know more about APAPA by visiting www.apapa.org. The 1882 Project is a nonpartisan, grassroots effort focused on educating lawmakers and the public about the Chinese Exclusion Laws and the impact such legislation had on history and calling on Congress to formally apologize for the passage of those laws. I am enclosing a letter to public issued by APAPA for your reference. Please feel free to distribute it to your members and other contacts. Should you need more information please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

Ching-Lin Chen Chair

The 1882 Project Committee of APAPA
