Protecting Our Voice: Empowering the AAPI Vote
In the past two years, AAPI hate has surged, underscoring the urgent need for AAPI communities to mobilize. C.A.C.A. adopted a resolution in 2021 to defend voting rights, our most fundamental tool for combating hate and creating change. In this session, APIAVote representatives will discuss concrete ways we can increase voter participation and education in the AAPI community. The presenters will provide an overview of AAPI voter trends, talk about the current state of voting rights, and highlight actionable steps individuals and groups can take.
The presentation will cover:
Tangible actions to take to support voting rights and increase voter turnout
Current voter engagement and education initiatives tailored for the AAPI community
Upcoming voter turnout events and ways that local lodges can get involved
