** Thursday, July 30th: Day 2 Overview
------------------------------------------------------------

Good morning Advocate!

Below is a preview of the day's schedule. It's not too late register! You can view a more detailed description of the sessions and register for free here at [link removed] ([link removed]) .
FIRST VOTE is a rare long-form look at Asian American passions on both sides of the political divide in election battleground states Ohio and North Carolina.

Lance Chen is a Chinese immigrant and professor at the University of Dayton who became a citizen in 2016 specifically to vote Republican in Ohio. Sue Googe, also an immigrant from China, owns a real estate business and made an unsuccessful Tea Party bid for a congressional seat in North Carolina, toting an AK-47 in campaign posters.

Kaiser Kuo is a writer, musician and former Baidu executive — but he’s also an avid Democratic activist in North Carolina. Jennifer Ho is a professor at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and brings deep understandings of racism to her teaching and worldview, lamenting that politically, “we can’t find common ground.”

Director Yi Chen allows us to hear from all of them.
