Asian Pacific American (APA) Justice Task Force is a non‑partisan, volunteer‑led platform and nonprofit coalition founded in 2015 to monitor, document, and advocate against racial profiling and civil‑rights abuses affecting Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. It organizes webinars, briefings, and outreach to inform lawmakers, the media, and affected communities about cases and policies—particularly around national security prosecutions, academic freedom, immigration impacts, census/data issues, and broader civil‑liberties concerns.
Anti‑racial profiling and civil‑rights protections for Asian American and Pacific Islander communities; oversight of national security and law‑enforcement practices that disproportionately affect APA individuals (including prosecutions of scientists and researchers); academic freedom and research collaboration policy; immigration and immigrant rights; data, census and redistricting privacy issues; public education and community outreach.
Primarily volunteer support supplemented by small individual donations, occasional grants, and partnership support from allied civil‑rights and community organizations.
Partners and collaborators have included national Asian American civil‑rights groups and policy organizations such as Asian Americans Advancing Justice and the Brennan Center for Justice, community groups like United Chinese Americans, engagement with members of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, and volunteer leaders/contacts such as Jeremy Wu and Franklin Tao.
