Voting Rights (original) (raw)
Participating in our democracy is a powerful way to win change in our communities.
Our Focus
Racial justice can’t be achieved without eradicating discriminatory barriers to voting and guaranteeing every person has a say in our democracy. Raising our voices through the democratic process helps us influence governments to deliver what we need, from worker protections to immigrant justice to housing rights. We fight for Asian American, Pacific Islander, immigrant, limited-English speaking, and other disenfranchised people to make sure their voices are heard.
- With partners across California, we’re empowering Asian American communities to shape state and local redistricting.
- We fight for better representation of Asian American Californians and other Californians of color by pushing for election systems that give historically disenfranchised communities an equal say in our democracy.
- We advocate for and pass legislation to increase language access at the ballot box.
