(via California's Proposed Bill to Disaggregate AAPI Data Significantly Weakened in New Amendments) The stakes for passing AB1726 are, quite simply, too high. I’m dissatisfied with the amendments to AB1726, but frankly we need disaggregated data in California and across the country. Southeast Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders of California deserve their data. We still need to pass this bill. To that end, please sign this petition to continue to urge the Legislature to pass AB1726, and to continue to urge Governor Brown not to veto this bill. Meanwhile, AAPI progressives must take a deep long look at our own mobilization and grassroots organizing tactics. It is increasingly clear that it is not enough to be silent and complacent on issues affecting our community. On the issue of data disaggregation, we have failed our Southeast Asian American and Pacific Islander allies. On this and other issues, we need to do more. We need to get organized.
