"Restraining Orders Are Not Safety Plans." That was the presentation our Elder and Disability Rights team brought to the 20th Conference on Elder Abuse, a sold-out gathering of elder law attorneys, social workers, and advocates hosted by Legal Assistance for Seniors.

For the second consecutive year, our team was invited to present, this time sparking conversation about how the field approaches safety planning when separation isn't an option for elder abuse survivors.

I'll be direct: our communities are under attack.

The administration's first executive order killed DEI programs across the federal government. Since then, Lunar New Year celebrations have been canceled. Affinity graduations honoring students of color, shut down in state after state. Florida just ensured this year's Haitian Flag Day will be the last. The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act. Legislation would eliminate birthright citizenship and erase the heritage sites that tell our stories.

They want us to forget. We refuse.

API Legal Outreach has served the most marginalized in our community for over 50 years. As AAPI Heritage Month closes, your donation keeps that fight going.

Bridges, not walls. That's the spirit of this year's AANHPI Heritage Month theme: Power in Unity, Strengthening Communities Together.

Last week, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors recognized APILO as a 2026 AANHPI honoree for 51 years of culturally and linguistically responsive legal services for survivors of violence, for immigrants finding their footing, for elders and youth who need someone in their corner.

We're proud to share the honor with peer orgs across the county, each building bridges in their own way: Asian Immigrant Women Advocates, Banteay Srei, Community Health for Asian Americans, East Bay Asian Youth Center, and the Regional Pacific Islander Task Force, alongside other community leaders doing the work across our county. Thank you for standing with us. Together we rise!
