We are thrilled to celebrate Analilia Mejia as the District 11’s next Representative. 🥳

New Jersey Congressional District 11, where Analilia won her race, is home to roughly 60,000 Asian American voters. NAKASEC Action Fund New Jersey outreached to Asian American voters with in-language information and resources.

As we’ve said for years, Asian American voters will play increasingly large roles in determining the future of this country - and we are honored to play a role in making sure our community is seen, valued, and listened to.

We are thrilled that Analilia, a longtime champion and fighter for immigrants, workers, and families, will be our next Representative! ✊

Teamwork makes the dream work. 🙌🏼 that’s why SEIU Virginia 512 and Hamkae Power are teaming up to protect fair elections. 🤜🤛

Republicans are trying to rig the mid-term elections by redrawing district lines in their favor.

But states like Virginia are fighting back.

By redrawing our own district lines for the next 4 years, we can keep the balance of power in check. ✊🏽 This is just one way we're fighting to stop tyrants from dismantling our democracy + keeping power for themselves.

Join us this Saturday! We'll knock doors, make phone calls, and talk with Asian American voters across Virginia and urge them to vote YES on April 21!

HANA Action, NAKASEC Action Fund’s Illinois chapter, is proud to endorse Miguel Alvelo-Rivera for State Representative for District 40. ✨

Miguel has a proven track record for fighting for workers, families, and young people. He understands that the issues we face: skyrocketing rent, unaffordable childcare, and every day concerns like paying our electric bills and putting food on our table - are solvable problems. We just need elected officials who will fight with and for the people - not for their own pockets. ✊🏽 If you’re in District 40, vote for Miguel Alevlo-Rivera.

Primary election day is Tuesday, March 17! Are you ready to cast your vote?

This past Saturday, volunteers from across Chicago joined us for our inaugural day of action. 🎉

We knocked on doors across Illinois House District 40 to talk with residents about Miguel Alvelo-Rivera, a community organizer running to be the district’s next Representative. Miguel is committed to a safer, more affordable Chicago - whether it’s protecting and increasing tenant rights, increasing the minimum wage, or investing in community-based violence prevention. ✊🏽

This event marked the launch of HANA Action, the Illinois chapter of NAKASEC Action Fund. ✨ Together, we will fight for everyone who calls Illinois home. 🫂

Thank you to everyone who joined us! Join us in the fight for Chicagoans - for Illinoisans - and sign up to volunteer with us at the link in bio.

We are thrilled to celebrate Analilia Mejia’s WIN of the Democratic Primary! 🎉

New Jersey Congressional District 11, where Analilia won her race, is home to roughly 60,000 Asian American voters. To support Analilia Mejia in winning the primary, NAKASEC Action Fund New Jersey independently outreached to over 15,000 Korean and Asian American voters through phonebanking, canvassing, mailers, and ads in the Korean ethnic media.

As we’ve said for years, Asian American voters will play increasingly large roles in determining the future of this country - and the narrow margin of votes underscores that truth. 🫶🏼

Analilia is a champion for Asian Americans, immigrants, workers, families, and every day New Jerseyans who want a life they can afford to live with their rights protected and humanity upheld. ✊🏼

Next up: The general election is April 16. Let’s elect Analilia to be New Jersey’s next Representative!

Are you ready to vote this year?

NAKASEC Action Fund is excited to announce our New Jersey Chapter: NAKASEC Action Fund New Jersey! 🎉

As we kick off our new chapter, NAKASEC Action Fund NJ and Asian Americans for Change Fund are proud to endorse Analilia Mejia for Congressional District 11.

Analilia has a long track-record of fighting for working class people and immigrant rights. She led efforts to raise the minimum hourly wage in New Jersey to $15 and secure paid sick leave. ✊

Now running for Congress, Analilia is committed to fighting for every day, working people. Analilia knows that the cost of living is too high - and she’s ready to take on corporations and corrupt officials. We need representatives like Analilia who will fight for us - for better jobs, education, affordable healthcare and housing, and keeping families together.

On February 5, there will be a special election for Congressional district 11 in New Jersey. Vote for Analilia Meija + share this post!

Repost: Did you know AT&T is helping ICE identify and pursue people across the country?

AT&T contracts with ICE, CBP, and DHS—the agencies running Trump’s deportation machine—and the terror that comes with it.

NAKASEC has launched two massive resources for our communities: a mobile app and 24/7 hotline. Read more, download, and share! ⬇️

Repost 📣 ATTN: OUR 24/7 HOTLINE and KNOW YOUR RIGHTS APP ARE LIVE!‼️

Are you worried about your immigration situation?
Is I.C.E. at your door?
Has a loved one been detained?
Our confidential 24/7 hotline (available in English and Korean) is NOW AVAILABLE.‼️ The line is confidential and monitored 24/7 by a dedicated cohort of staff and volunteers. 🥰📳

During the first T4ump administration, we launched a hotline to rapidly respond to the needs of our community members. We received thousands of calls from community members at immediate risk for arrest, seeking their loved ones, and anxious about what actions they could take. To meet the needs of our community members, we have relaunched this hotline (with the same number as before).

We also created a mobile phone app where you can access information about your rights and legal resources. In the case of an emergency, announce your rights in English and send a text to a preselected list of contacts. 🤳🏼 You can download this free app in the Apple Store. (We hope to have an Android version available ASAP.)

Take a moment to prepare yourself and your loved ones:
1️⃣: Share and save this number ➡️ (1-844-500-3222) ⬅️
2️⃣: Sign up to help us keep the hotline running (we’ll provide the training!) at our linkinbio 🔗
