NEW YORK – October 11, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
From Oct. 11-14, 2022, over a dozen Asian and Pacific Islander (API) nonprofits across the country are launching Civic Action Week, organized by Gold House, to encourage voting, philanthropy, and vaccines. The week will highlight national and local resources heading into midterm elections and flu season, from the Filipino Voter Empowerment Project‘s PSA starring Timothy Granaderos to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ COVID-19 education campaign We Can Do This.
“The pandemic has been particularly hard on many Asians and Pacific Islanders facing increasing socioeconomic challenges. We must mobilize to protect our rights and our health,” said Jeremy Tran, COO of Gold House, one of the nonprofits leading Civic Action Week.
Indeed, the collective power of APIs should not be overlooked. Asian American voter turnout surged by 47% nationally and across all presidential battleground states in 2020, becoming the margin of victory in key states like Georgia. Asian Americans also assumed some of the highest national and local offices for the first time — from U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris to Mayors Michelle Wu (Boston), Aftab Pureval (Cincinnati), and Bruce Harrell (Seattle).
These victories did not come easily, however.
Barriers to voting access continue to exist in critical states like Texas, where a recent poll by Asian Texans for Justice showed that 64% of the API electorate are eager to vote.
“South Asians in Texas are up against major obstacles at the ballot box,” warns Krisan Swaminathan, Chair of SAAVETX. “Voter suppression laws ensnare our people in antiquated voter registration regulations, complicated ballot access, and stringent voter identification requirements. This directly impacts immigrant communities.”
Many API communities have also been facing limited healthcare and financial resources, despite increasing challenges in recent years.
“With the prevalence of chronic illnesses among Pacific Islanders and likeliness of our communities living in multi-family and multi-generational households, prioritizing health in our community today is key to ensuring we aren’t one of the hardest hit communities in the next health crisis,” Karla Thomas, Deputy Director of EPIC, explains.
But with less than 1% of philanthropic dollars going to API nonprofits, these organizations are working together to empower their communities through creative ways like Civic Action Week.
“Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have faced many challenges over the past few years. But as a community, we did not stay silent,” says Kevin Hirano, Director of Operations and Development of APIAVote. “The change we want and need can only happen when we vote and take others with us to the polls.”

Modern DevOps hits the factory floor, up-leveling data security and visibility, with the detection of unauthorized code changes.
NEW YORK – October 11, 2022 – (Newswire.com)
Industrial automation software developer Copia Automation announced the release of its newest product DeviceLink™, delivering automated backup and change detection for industrial control devices. DeviceLink extends the value of Copia’s source control platform. Cloud-hosted and Git-based, Copia empowers controls engineers to unlock the advantages of DevOps workflows in driving greater team efficiency, code quality, and operational uptime.
“Once a machine is deployed to the factory floor, most manufacturers lose visibility into how control programs change. Teams are focused on keeping machines running and not documenting the code tweaks and edits that always occur over time,” explains Copia CEO Adam Gluck. “DeviceLink automatically backs up these control programs to one centralized location giving teams code security, up-to-date visibility, and most important – change traceability.”
Copia’s DeviceLink works with Allen-Bradley, CODESYS, Beckhoff, and FANUC devices and can schedule code backups at any time or frequency. FTP and Bash scripting are also supported, and Siemens device support is coming soon. Once the code is backed up, DeviceLink will compare it to the last known version. When changes are detected, it will create a new committed version, and if desired, the new edits can be reviewed, approved, and merged into any ongoing development code.
“Regardless of how much equipment we’re managing and how many sites that equipment is spread across, DeviceLink shows us all the live control code in one place,” says Kellen Murray, founder at Konductive. “We always have up-to-date restore points in case of failures and are proactively alerted to unauthorized changes.”
Device Link builds on the power of Copia Automations Git-based source control and its ability to render control programs in standard formats, including ladder logic (LD), function block diagram (FBD), and structured text. As changes occur, Copia can highlight the difference between versions.
“Not only do you gain knowledge of when PLC or robotic code changes, but you can also immediately see the exact edits,” states Gluck. “This insight is crucial in determining whether the change was authorized and needs to be the restore point moving forward.”
DeviceLink adds to Copia’s mission of bringing modern DevOps practices to industrial automation, equipping control engineers with the same game-changing workflows used in traditional software development. The Git-based source controls allow engineers to work simultaneously on the same codebase, review code efficiently, and ensure that all changes are documented and accessible.
“By integrating Copia Automation’s platform into our daily workflow, we can better utilize our engineering resources to handle more projects and ensure the highest quality code development,” Murray explains. “DeviceLink builds on these benefits by providing the same level of visibility into the control programs running on the factory floor.”
About Copia Automation: Copia Automation delivers modern developer tools for industrial automation. Used by machine designers, system integrators, and product manufactures, Copia’s robust version control, change visibility, and collaboration streamlines how industrial machinery is commissioned and operated, resulting in faster delivery and maximized uptime.
