Friend,
The National Council of Asian Pacific Americans, along with Representatives Grace Meng, Judy Chu, Mark Takano, Raja Krishnamoorthi, and other members of Congress, are imploring President-elect Joe Biden to appoint AAPI officials to his Cabinet.
Biden has already picked a number of his Cabinet members, and while it’s looking like his administration will be significantly more diverse than it’s been in the past, we're still waiting for Biden to announce his first AAPI Cabinet official.
Judy Chu told NBC Asian America that failing to appoint any AAPI official to the Cabinet would send a “terrible message that being inclusive does not require including AAPIs.
“As a consequence, more AAPIs will feel excluded and invisible, and fewer will see a future for themselves in government.”
ASPIRE is committed to standing with our lawmakers who are reminding us of what we already know: Our government won’t be truly representative until all communities are given a voice, and a seat, at the table. That’s why we’re working around the clock to support AAPI officials and promote their status in politics. We’re determined to rally so that Biden’s Cabinet is actually as diverse as he’s been saying he wants it to be -- but we’re running low on funds. We’re $2,864 short, to be exact.

Thank you so much for your contribution for the advancement of AAPI representation in politics. Together, we’ll make a better, more equitable tomorrow for all Americans.
