• Only 0.9% of elected leaders in the United States identify as Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI). Yet, the total number of AAPI folks in the U.S. is over six times this percentage and accounts for the country's fastest-growing demographic. 

• That's why this May, during AAPI Heritage Month, NDTC is hosting this special edition of our So You Want to Run for Office training geared towards prospective and early-stage AAPI candidates. With a focus on the unique challenges and opportunities for AAPI candidates, NDTC's expert trainer will cover the ins and outs of deciding to run and for what office. Whether you're already gearing up to run or have maybe only considered it, this training is for you!

Expert Q&A Panel: NDTC Expert Q&A: The AAPI Experience in Politics

• May 18th, 1:00-2:00pm ET

• Register HERE

• May celebrates the achievements and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) throughout America. Despite historic strides in representation and leadership, the AAPI community still faces rampant racism, prejudice, and discrimination, making getting involved in politics even more challenging.

• The first step in addressing these issues is listening to AAPI leaders themselves! This month’s NDTC Expert Q&A will bring together a stellar panel of AAPI individuals to share their own experiences navigating the world of Democratic politics as a member of their community. Panelists will share challenges, triumphs, and lessons learned from the campaign trail. With a focus on solutions to these ever-present obstacles for AAPI candidates, staff, and volunteers, this is an excellent opportunity to hear from community members and ask questions directly.
