A Filipino American Bay Area organization is entering its tenth year of fighting domestic violence in the Filipino American community. The Alliance for Community Empowerment’s new president is the youngest president in the group’s history and its first attorney serving as president.
“I hope to continue engaging the Filipino American community in the campaign to end domestic violence,” Robert Uy told Philippine News.
“My background as a domestic violence attorney, in the immigration, elder abuse, and family law fields will allow me to broaden members’ knowledge on the legal options for survivors of domestic violence.
