In this episode, we speak first with Jose Ng, Immigrant Rights Program Manager at Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), who breaks down how the BBB impacts mixed-status families, raises application fees, and heightens fear, especially among San Francisco’s estimated 10,000 undocumented Chinese immigrants and their extended communities.
If you or someone you know needs support, CAA offers free immigration consultations and legal referrals:
📞 Immigration Hotline: (415) 761-3222
🌐 www.caasf.org/immigrant-rights
📱 WeChat: CAASF1969
Then we turn to Cliff Yee, Vice President of Programs and Leadership Development at Coro Northern California and a lifelong resident of San Francisco’s Richmond District. Cliff shares how his family’s story—from his grandfather’s arrival through Angel Island to the same house he grew up in—grounds his efforts to reclaim and reimagine Chinese American identity in a neighborhood too often overlooked, despite its deep immigrant roots.
Together, we explore what it means to navigate belonging, memory, and resilience in real time - as the ground shifts beneath our feet.
