COVID-19 sparked a shockwave of hate, violence, and racism towards people of Asian descent, often women, that will continue to demand action long after the pandemic. The injustices toward the AAPI community, and the fear that many continue to live in, do not go back to normal.

Lasting change, change that addresses the issues critical to the AAPI community, requires representation. Unfortunately, as Politico has reported, AAPI women made up just 0.3% of elected leadership across all offices as of mid-2020.

Increasing representation and building influence in elective office has never been more important to protecting and advocating for AAPI communities – and there are some remarkable women leading the way.

Join us on September 15 at 12:00 p.m. PT to hear from an esteemed panel of AAPI women in elected office, making great strides in public service. The Asian Women Empowered: Policy Changemakers panel will take place virtually via zoom and will feature CA State Treasurer Fiona Ma, Irvine Mayor Farrah Khan, and others to be announced. This important discussion will shine a light on these women’s journeys, perspectives and visions for a better-represented future.
