John, Tomorrow is the last day of AAPI Heritage Month, and as we reach its end, we celebrate the incredible trailblazers and changemakers of AAPI pro-choice women’s leadership -- and we also recognize the road ahead to realize truly equitable representation. Despite being the fastest growing demographic in the country, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders account for less than 1% of our elected leaders. We must do better. At its most basic level, what brings us together in this work is creating a more just world -- electing a government and fostering institutions in which we are seen and respected. Join us in celebrating pro-choice AAPI women leaders by checking out Women Winning’s AAPI Heritage Month video below (and watching it on repeat the rest of the day). Then, sign up to help us elect more history-makers like Patsy Mink, Mazie Hirono, and Tammy Duckworth by joining our volunteer list.
(Click to watch video) We have crucial local elections happening this fall, and with redistricting, every single legislative seat in Minnesota will be on the ballot in 2022 -- join our volunteer list and help elect a more representative, equitable government! Thank you for joining us in this fight. Together, we’ll we’ll build a bench of pro-choice women leaders and ensure that Madam Vice President Kamala Devi Harris was right: while she is the first woman to serve in her office, she will not be the last. ~Team Women Winning
