Founded in 1993, APEN strategies include community organizing and leadership development, policy development and advocacy, multiracial movement building, and, most recently, electoral organizing and civic engagement to affect state climate and energy policy. Over the past twenty years, the Asian Pacific Environmental Network (APEN) has engaged in innovative strategies for building grassroots leadership in Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities to bring important perspectives to the movement for environmental justice. Ultimately, this article seeks to bring forth the unique perspectives of Chinatown community members and explore how students, families, teachers, school staff and administrators, and community organizers can collaborate to actualize a more transformative public education experience. The authors document trends among the transnational East and Southeast Asian families that comprise the majority in the local Chinatown schools and discuss some of the key intersections of communities and identities within those schools, as well as the pedagogies that try to build upon these intersections in the name of student empowerment and a more holistic vision of student achievement. This article examines the experiences of children, parents, and teachers in the New York and Los Angeles Chinatown public schools, as observed by two classroom educators, one based in each city.

Particularly for South Asians, Japanese, Koreans and Vietnamese, we conclude that surname lists approximated population-based estimates of their health status and health access and surname list sampling should continue to be considered as an alternative strategy when cost constraints prohibit investment in probability-based oversamples. In addition, we found that the list and RDD samples did not deviate significantly from each other in most of the health status and health access measures. We found that demographic differences in lists versus probability samples are most pronounced among South Asians and Vietnamese and to a lesser extent among Japanese, but is less of an issue among Koreans. For each Asian ethnic group, we performed chi-squared tests to compare the list and RDD sample proportions for several demographic, health access and health status measures. As one of the first major surveys to use both RDD and surname list-assisted sampling methods to sample Asian subgroups, the 2001 California Health Interview Survey provides the unique opportunity to determine whether significant differences exist between the RDD sample and the list-assisted sample for South Asians, Japanese, Koreans and Vietnamese. As such, health information for Asian American subgroups is often acquired from surname list-assisted sampling methods, which may be fraught with biases toward particular groups not representative of the overall population. Population-representative samples of this relatively low frequency racial group still fail to yield sufficient sample size to provide disaggregated information on Asian ethnic groups.

The lack of health data on Asian ethnic subgroups has been noted as the major setback in dispelling the myth of the model minority. Based on interviews with over 100 Indian H-1B workers, this paper challenges many of the assumptions about "indentured servitude," and my findings suggest alternate policy alternatives to pitting the interests of "cheap Indian workers" against the interests of "Americans." I argue that these metaphors are resonant in the debate over the H-1B visa program, where displaced American Information Technology (IT) workers conflate the role of Indian H-1B workers as both vulnerable victims of corporate greed and menacing threats to national prosperity and security, reinforcing both symbolic and institutional racism against this new category of Asian immigrant worker.

The debate against the H-1B visa program has been dominated by what feminist economist Naila Kabeer has argued are "coalitions of 'powerful losers' in the north seeking to claw back the gains made from international trade by 'weak winners' in the south" (Kabeer 2002). This article examines the complexity of the debate around the temporary worker visa known as the H-1B program for highly skilled foreign nationals.
