Accomplishments Over the Past Decade!

And in this past decade, we have achieved record high AANHPI representation in Congress with over 20 elected representative fighting for us and our communities. Check out what our AANHPI community has collectively built over the past decade.
As we close out this decade, let's celebrate this political movement of the people, by the people, and for the people. Collectively, we are powerful. But it's all our responsibility to continue engaging the community and lifting each other up.

Let's keep building progressive AANHPI political power at all levels of government, together. We can't wait to see what 2020 brings.
