One of the bigger stories coming out of the 2010 Census release of ethnic data was the fact that the Asian population in the United States has grown by nearly 50 percent over the past 10 years. Its growth has even outpaced the Latino community in a number of states including Texas, New Jersey, and Missouri. Moreover, projections indicate that this population will increase 150 percent by the year 2050. Yet in spite of their growing numbers and influence, the APIA community is often overlooked in the political and policy landscape.

To centralize the importance of APIA voters, please join us for a dynamic conversation with leaders from the APIA community.
