Don’t miss out on our Get Out the Filipino Vote efforts happening across 5 cities! Join us in taking action! ☑️

Recent legal challenges to the Voting Rights Act, including the Supreme Court’s ruling in Callais vs. Louisiana, underscore growing threats to fair representation and voter protections before significant election cycles.

As Filipino Americans, we can’t forget our history in fighting for inclusion and voting rights—and our connection to African American communities in the broader movement for equity and justice. Let’s show them what D-E-M-O-C-R-A-C-Y looks like! It’s time to organize!

⭐️💪🏽 Sign-up for one of our days of actions listed above from May to June!
