Save the Date! AAPI Presidential Town Hall
Since 2008, the Presidential Town Hall has served as a forum for AAPIs to advocate for our issues to be addressed and on the radar of campaigns and the media. In giving presidential candidates a space to directly address AAPI community members, leaders, and organizers, the town hall has become one of the few spaces geared specifically for Presidential candidates to speak directly to AAPIs, about AAPIs.
As a nonpartisan event, the Presidential Town Hall will be the largest convergence of over 5,000 Asian American and Pacific Islander professionals and community leaders in the nation. APIAVote and community partners will be organizing virtually and it will be held in the afternoon of June 27, 2020. This is a historic moment because, as a collective group, this will be the largest opportunity for the presidential candidates to participate and address our communities' needs for the General Election. This will also allow our communities to unite our voices in political engagement this year and into the future.
In addition, a series of workshops and convenings will be organized before and after the Town Hall. We will be creating spaces to support community building. The summit will be interactive and allow participants to be updated on a number of issues impacting our lives amid the COVID-19 pandemic and provide you the skills to organize for the 2020 elections.
Stay tuned for updates as they come! Be sure to check our social media and follow APIAVote's Social Media.
