    a lasting impact 2008 ANNUAL REPORT 25 YEARS OF JUSTICE AND EQUALITY From its start in 1983, the Asian Pacific American Legal Center (APALC) has set the pace for social justice for Asian Pacific Americans. Twenty-five years later, APALC continues to strive for justice on behalf of Asian Pacific Americans and for all underrepresented and marginalized individuals and communities. As you read on, you will witness for yourself APALC’s impact. We encounter individuals at moments of crisis and provide in-language help with legal issues that profoundly influence their lives. We litigate on behalf of individuals to effect broad, sweeping change in laws, institutions, and practices. We develop multicultural-savvy leaders in the health sector and among today’s youth and parents. We do original research on Asian Pacific American demographics and advocate for policies that better serve our communities on local, state, and national levels. We work to protect and enhance the well-being of immigrants in our communities. We help over 15,000 individuals each year. We meet the relevant, ongoing needs of our community in direct and systemic ways for a personal and lasting impact in families and communities. This year, we have recognized the immense challenges facing our community, and decisively and from the swiftly acted to be a force for positive change. For example, we launched an elder law project, executive focusing on the needs of the rapidly growing older population of Asian Pacific Americans. We also initiated a foreclosure and housing project to help Asian Pacific Americans facing foreclosures during director this economic crisis.
