  • Why Municipal Elections?

    Local elections are often where our voice is loudest as citizens and community members. Voting in all elections is important but voting in local, municipal elections is crucial because decisions by officials we elect have a direct impact on our AAPI families and communities.

    More than 8.7 million Pennsylvania voters could participate in the local municipal elections on November 7.

  • The Issues We Care About

    We believe that all residents of Pennsylvania, regardless of where they were born or how they came here, deserve to live and raise their families to be healthy, thriving, and free from fear of violence or separation. When we build together, we can elect leadership and push forward policies that address anti-Asian violence and bring community safety; more language access for all AAPI communities in our healthcare and government services; and governmental and social service systems that understand and reflect the immense diversity of our various cultural and socio economic experiences.
