aaldef launches new jersey asian american legal project

The Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund recently opened new offices in Newark, NJ to assist Asian American citizens with legal services, in response to the growing Asian American population in the state: Asians get allies in legal system. Currently, New Jersey's Asian-American population reached over a 600,000, a 29 percent increase from 2000 U.S. Census Bureau estimates. AALDEF aims to ensure Asian Americans are paid minimum wage and overtime, obtain fair voters rights, and are educated about legal services the organization provides. New Jersey just got a little more yellow power.
