California Democratic Party Supports AAPI Priority Legislation
Led by our Legislative Chair Gurpreet Kaur, our Caucus submitted requests for the party to support several bills on the California Legislature’s AAPI Legislative Caucus priority list.

At the August Executive Board Meeting, the California Democratic Party voted to support our requested bills as priority bills for Democratic legislators to vote Yes on.

AB 49 (Muratsuchi) Prohibits U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers from entering a school site or child care facility for any purpose without providing valid identification, a written statement of purpose, a valid judicial warrant, and approval from the school district’s superintendent or director of the child care center. The bill also requires that if an ICE official meets the requirements to enter a school site or childcare facility, their access would be restricted to where students or children are not present.

AB 695 (Fong) Establishes the CA Community Colleges Access and Continuity for Deported Students Act to provide deported California Community Colleges students the opportunity to continue their education online after leaving the United States.

AB 863 (Kalra) Requires a translated eviction notice, complaint, and summons to be provided to tenants who have either negotiated their lease in another language or if the landlord has reason to believe they speak one of the top five non-English languages in California as their primary language: Spanish, Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Korean.

AB 1348 (Bains) Makes immigration enforcement activities that result in mass absences in schools a qualifying event for the purpose of calculating average daily attendance for funding after an emergency.

AB 1362 (Kalra) Closes a loophole in current labor law by clarifying that all foreign labor contractors have worker rights as temporary immigrant workers, with only two exceptions: J-1 visas and talent agency recruiters.

SB 509 (Caballero) Requires the Office of Emergency Services to work in cooperation with the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to develop a training on recognizing and responding to transnational repression. The bill also defines transnational repression in order to provide clarity to law enforcement, and specifies that it is state policy to protect Californians against transnational repression and hold foreign governments accountable for committing those acts.

For a full list of legislation the the California Democratic Party has taken positions on, please see pages 20-24 of the Executive Board Floor Report at https://cadem.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2025-August-EBoard-Floor-Report_Saturday-August-23-2025.pdf

California Democratic Party Executive Board Meeting Week of August 22-August 24
The Summer E-Board meeting will be online, and is scheduled for the week of August 22-24. Registration is open now at https://cadem.org/executive-board/
Our Caucus will have an online membership meeting as part of the conference. Details and time to follow.
Welcome Anish Mohanty & Talavou (Vou) Aumavae
Anish Mohanty is joining us as our Digital Outreach Chair.
Anish is a digital strategist, political communicator, and proud Asian American organizer based in the Bay Area. He has led digital strategy for progressive campaigns at the national, state, and local levels, including for U.S. Senator Ed Markey and California Treasurer Fiona Ma. He previously served as Communications Director for both Gen-Z for Change and Assemblymember Liz Ortega, helping shape advocacy and communications strategies grounded in authenticity and youth-driven action.

Anish first discovered the power of storytelling at 16, when he produced a documentary about children at Adruta Children’s Home in Odisha, India. The project raised funds for new facilities and sparked his belief that creative media could be a tool for justice. He has since worked to blend aesthetics with advocacy—experimenting with cinematic video, campaign photography, and platform innovation to move people and shape narratives. For his work uplifting community voices, he received the Manorama Memorial Award in 2022 and the Youth Service Award in 2024 from the Odia Society of the Americas.

In addition to his role with the AAPI Caucus, Anish serves as Communications Officer for the California Democratic Party Progressive Caucus, a Steering Committee Member of the Working Families Party, a Board Member of Project Super Bloom PAC, and Communications Co-Chair of the San Mateo County AAPI Alliance. He is also an Arts & Culture Commissioner and Sister Cities Committee Member for Union City, California.

As Digital Outreach Chair, Anish is focused on deepening the AAPI Caucus’s digital presence through storytelling that reflects our communities, content that inspires civic action, and strategies that make politics feel more human, creative, and connected.
https://aapicaucus.com/digital-outreach-chair/
Talavou (Vou) Aumavae is joining us as our Professional Development Chair.
Talavou is a dedicated community organizer, civic leader, and political science graduate whose work centers on empowering Pacific Islander communities and advancing equity through culturally rooted initiatives. With over a decade of experience in advocacy, nonprofit leadership, and public service, Talavou has consistently championed the inclusion and visibility of Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) voices in civic and policy spaces.

As the Founder and President of the Pacific Islander Democratic Club in San Mateo County—one of the nation’s first of its kind—Talavou has been instrumental in building political power and engagement within the PI community. Their leadership in voter outreach efforts, including as Chair for NHPI coalitions in multiple presidential campaigns, has mobilized historically underrepresented communities to the ballot box.

Whether serving on the board of Samoan Solutions, leading student organizations like the Pacific Islander Student Association at SFSU, or coordinating cultural education programs, Talavou brings a deep sense of purpose rooted in service, identity, and justice. Their vision is grounded in collective liberation and the belief that Pacific Islanders deserve not only a seat at the table, but the power to shape it. https://aapicaucus.com/about-us/executive-board/professional-development-chair/
