2020 election is a historical moment to Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. 

Our increasing demographic representation, collective economic impact, and professional/civic achievements present a powerful and timely opportunity for political engagement. Our vote matters.

Moderator will share AAPI elected officials data using an interactive map and invite panelists to comment and respond. This is a dialog focusing on why it is important for AAPI community to vote in November. Follow up with a Q&A session for panelists to address questions from the participants.
