Here’s the simple fact, John. There are ONLY 11 Asian American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women in Congress. This severe lack of representation simply can’t stand any longer.

The good news is Emerge women are changing the face of politics right now. Women like Mayor Michelle Wu, Del. Kathy Tran, Councilwoman Jocelyn Yow, Del. Lily Qi, and Alderperson Maiyoua Thao are making history and winning elections from Massachusetts to California.

"Asian and Pacific Islander Americans are the most underrepresented group in politics when you compare our population to our representation in elected office. And that disparity is even greater for APIA women. Living up to the promise of our democracy means electing leaders who reflect the lived experiences, perspectives, and politics of the people we serve." - Michelle Wu

But it’s going to take real community power to win full representation for all. So please John: 

Will you donate $5 or more right now to help Emerge recruit, train, and elect Democratic women up and down the ballot in every state?
