AAAFund Applauds Connie Chung’s Endorsement of Harris for a More Inclusive America
Washington, D.C. - The Asian American Action Fund (AAAFund) proudly acknowledges and celebrates the endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign by renowned television journalist Connie Chung. Her passionate and impactful message, shared widely with the American public, serves as a beacon of leadership and a call to action for all who believe in justice, equity, and unity in America.
Connie Chung has long been a trailblazer in American journalism, recognized as the first Chinese American news anchor for a major U.S. network. Her pioneering role has not only shattered barriers but has also inspired generations of women around the world to pursue their dreams with courage and integrity. Chung's groundbreaking career established her as a role model for countless individuals, especially Asian American women, proving that resilience and excellence can overcome the strongest obstacles.
As an esteemed journalist and trusted voice, Connie Chung’s endorsement video carries profound significance. We recognize the weight of a journalist of Ms. Chung’s caliber choosing to engage in the political arena, and we are deeply grateful for her ongoing commitment to countering the falsehoods and divisive rhetoric spread by Donald Trump across our nation and beyond. Her support is not just a testament to the values embodied by the Harris campaign but also a powerful stand against the rise in anti-Asian hate, which could be exacerbated by another Trump-led White House that risks intensifying discrimination and undermining the safety and dignity of Asian American communities.
Connie Chung’s endorsement reflects a vision of America that prioritizes diversity and works to expand opportunity for all, regardless of race, background, or economic standing. Her voice echoes the concerns of millions of Americans who seek leadership that champions unity over division and truth over distortion.
At AAAFund, we are inspired by Chung’s commitment to a brighter, more inclusive America and her alignment with a campaign that seeks to uplift every American. Together, with voices like Connie Chung’s leading the way, we look forward to a future that champions the dignity and aspirations of all communities and actively counters the forces of hate.
