At their 43rd National Convention, the National Council of the Japanese American Citizens League adopted a resolution in support of access to Medicaid coverage for COFA residents in Hawai'i. The resolution requests Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie and Hawaii Attorney General David Louie to withdraw the appeal of Korab v. McManaman currently before the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Founded in 1929, the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) is the oldest and largest Asian American civil rights organization in the United States. The JACL monitors and responds to issues that enhance or threaten the civil and human rights of all Americans and implements strategies to effect positive social change, particularly to the Asian Pacific American community. Its mission is to "secure and maintain the civil rights of Japanese Americans and all others who are victimized by injustice and bigotry," and to promote cultural, educational, and social values while preserving the heritage and legacy of the Japanese American community.
The resolution adopted by the JACL at their national convention was introduced by the JACL Honolulu Chapter.
Despite affirming his support of Hawai'i's COFA population, Governor Neil Abercrombie has refused to withdraw the state appeal of the injunction halting Basic Health Hawai'i. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear oral arguments for the case on September 18, 2012 in Pasadena, California.
