2024 Asian American Unity Summit – AAUC (asamunitycoalition.org) https://www.asamunitycoalition.org/2024-unity-summit/
Invited members and friends of the organization will have an opportunity to meet Congressional Representatives and Senators at this program, in addition to calling on to the offices of your own elected officials and advocate those issues of concern to their communities. Registration to the Summit (including breakfast. Lunch and evening reception) on September 20th at The US Capitol is FREE. Please register at https://tinyurl.com/AAUC2024Summit. Dinner on September 19, 2024, at Crown Plaza in the evening is ticketed for 100 dollars.
AAUC is going to discuss the legislative issue of legal immigration backlog (Green Card) which has put 1.2 million Indian applicants in the waiting list, which at the current level may take long time to get a visa number until and unless the immigration rules are changed to remove the discriminatory rules towards Indian applicants and also the Chinese and Filipino applicants. There are two bipartisan bills in the Congress (HR-6543 and S-3269) which could reduce this long waiting period.
In the afternoon of Thursday, September 19, 2024, we will have a meeting with Dept. of Justice and FBI, again interacting with them on the Asian American issues. In the evening, there is a Welcome Dinner at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Crystal City, Virginia. If you like to attend these three events, please send a confirmation e- to president, Angela Anand, angela_anand@yahoo.com, or at website admin at https://www.asamunitycoalition.org/2024-unity-summit/
AAUC will also honor some outstanding achievers and contributors to the society including a couple awards honoring the lawmakers. There are people in different categories who will be honored for their contributions to society during the reception. We look forward to your participation.
