February 2020
The 2020 election season has officially begun with the Iowa Caucus taking place earlier this week! With Trump's acquittal at the sham impeachment trial and his lie-filled State of the Union address, we're reminded again why we need to continue the #BlueWave this November.
That's why we are so excited to continue supporting progressive AANHPIs that are running for public office. Supporting progressive AANHPIs running for public office is more important than ever because elections matter and representation matters!
Support us by donating today. Every dollar counts and will be used to help support our endorsees! #AAPI2020
