AANHPI Leaders In Office – Trailblazers, “Firsts,” and Representation
05/22 Thurs • 1 pm ET
Description
In honor of AANHPI Heritage Month, join us for an Ask Me Anything with AANHPI trailblazers who broke barriers in running for office.
These inspiring officials come from a variety of backgrounds and a community that is far from a monolith. The very fact that these leaders are at the table is often a huge win in dispelling stereotypes and representing new lived experiences in elected offices around the country.
They provide a unique lens into how candidates can challenge voter perceptions and expectations, and still build connections with communities on the issues that matter to everyone.
Who should attend:
Anyone from, living in, or with an interest in an AANHPI community.
Anyone who doesn’t see themselves represented often in politics.
Anyone who wants to know how to talk to voters who are not “like you.”
