Bettie Luke, Ali Lee and Ming-Ming Tung-Edelman represented the Chinese American Citizens Alliance (CACA) Seattle in the CACA national legislative and education team to Washington DC last week.  They participated in the first summit for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders where President Obama’s cabinet members and API leaders discussed issues regarding AAPIs. Three key issues were discussed: immigration, cultural heritage site preservation, and the medal of honor to be granted to Major Kurt Chew-Een Lee whose bravery during the Korean War saved 8000 lives.
