Hello dear friend!

We hope you have had a healthy and safe start to 2022! We’re reaching out to invite you to a virtual Lunar New Year celebration and fundraiser supporting Congressman Andy Kim at 8pm EST on February 1st.

Andy is one of only two Korean American Democrats in Congress. When the AAPI community was targeted in 2021, he stepped up to combat anti-Asian hate. Andy also recently launched a PAC called In Our Hands, which is committed to electing a new generation of leaders by recruiting and supporting more Asian Americans and candidates of color.

Andy won a second term with our strong support in 2020. By investing in Andy’s leadership, we have an opportunity this year to create a lasting legacy for the Asian American community. From working with other members of Congress to establish the first national museum dedicated to Asian Pacific Americans, to helping New Jersey public schools become only the second in the country to teach Asian American history, Andy has been leading the way on changing the way the community is seen and sees itself.

We know it has been a very difficult past two years for our community, and with the recent tragedy in New York City at the Times Square subway station, we want to acknowledge the pain and hurt in our community. The Asian American community is strong and resilient, and I hope we can bring in the new year together with renewed hope through this Lunar New Year celebration with Andy.

Will you join me, and invite three friends to stand with us in support of Andy and increased political representation for Asian Americans around the country? Please consider a contribution and RSVP here to join us Tuesday, February 1st from 8:00 - 9:00 PM for this virtual celebration.

Warm Wishes,

AAAF
