Stimulate us in June!
Sometime this month, you will probably receive a check in the mail from George W. Bush as a part of his "economic stimulus" plan. While we all could use the extra cash, we at NAPAWF are hoping that you will proudly invest 10% of your bonus check in a real plan for economic stimulus and justice.
We all know that instead of one-time, pre-election gimmicks, economic stability and prosperity for our families requires that the nation confront racism, sexism, xenophobia, violence, the model minority myth and other injustices. NAPAWF is doing just that.
This June 2008 we hope that you will STIMULATE us with a renewed membership or a donation to the National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum. Contribute now or click here for more information!
