We Are AAPI was established in 2020 to help build lasting Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) voting power. Our mission is to strengthen civic participation, raise awareness, and ensure that AAPI voices are heard where decisions are made.

Since our founding, we have:

  • Expanded access to voting by translating instructions into multiple languages, helping more community members cast their ballots with confidence.

  • Created space for dialogue by hosting talks with AAPI politicians and leaders, connecting communities directly to decision-makers.

  • Stood against hate by mobilizing in solidarity with efforts to combat anti-AAPI violence and discrimination.

Looking ahead at the 2026 midterms, We Are AAPI is doing the back-end work now to return stronger—focused on awareness, empowerment, and community action to shape a more inclusive and progressive future.
