Asian Americans have been part of the American story since its earliest days. From those who traveled to the U.S. as a result of changing immigration policies to refugees who came to American shores in search of safety to recent immigrants who continue to join our nation in search of the famed American Dream the one indisputable truth about our community is its breadth diversity and resilience.
And yet we have seen our community ignored in national conversations about the very policies that define our experience: immigration voting rights and so much more.
