Welcome to Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders for Obama

Welcome to AAPIs for Obama—a place for us to find the resources we need to organize in the community and help build this campaign one conversation at a time. President Obama has deep ties to the AAPI community, and he knows our country is strongest when everyone has a seat at the table and a shot at the American dream. We’re proud to stand with him and for the issues we care about—because when it comes to our future, we're all in it together.

The Very Latest

  • He’s fighting for us

    By BD Wong on

    I'm not really a political person, but I couldn't sit on the sidelines for this election.

    For the first time in my life (and I'm pretty old!) I really feel like our president is talking to me, including me, and addressing things that are important to me.

    When President Obama says he wants to give every hard-working American a fair chance and a fair shake, he's talking about people like my great-grandparents, who came to this country as immigrants and worked their way up to give my grandparents and parents—and, of course, me and my 12-year-old son—more opportunities.

    He's making sure Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders can afford college for our kids and health care—and that we can grow our small businesses.

    With President Obama in office, I feel like someone is fighting for me and the community I care about.

    Historically, we Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders haven't been as active as other communities in politics. But if we all step up (as I am trying to do now by personally writing to you), we will have a huge impact on this important election.
