In the past two decades, Asian Americans have become one of the fastest growing racial or ethnic groups in the United States. The 2020 presidential election saw historic voter turnout by the AAPI electorate. AAPI voters had the highest growth of any racial group in 2020, with a 47% increase. The Pew Research Center affirms that Asian Americans have been the fastest-growing group of eligible voters in the United States over roughly the past two decades and since 2020. Their number has grown by 15%, or about 2 million eligible voters, in the past four years. That’s faster than the 3% growth rate for all eligible voters during that span. The data is clear, and it confirms what we’ve known. AAPI - or more inclusively, Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander voters are critical in the outcome of elections. Let’s engage this growing block and make the case for Equality! #AANHPIHERITAGEMONTHISEVERYMONTH #AANHPI #HRC #EQUALITYVOTERS #EQUALITY
