Follow-up on 
AADC 2022 Midterm Election Kickoff Zoom Meeting

Dear friends,

We thank you sincerely for attending our event AADC 2022 Midterm Election Kickoff Zoom Meeting last Thursday, June 23, 2022. We are especially grateful to our Keynote speakers, DNC AAPI Caucus Chair Bel Leong-Hong and Congresswoman Grace Meng. They show us how power is built over time, and how it could be used to uplift the community and protect our democracy.

The elected officials and guest speakers we were so fortunate to be able to highlight for you last Thursday represent the future of our community, as well as America. We love this country, we belong in this country, and we will fight to protect this country. Please consider supporting these candidates fighting the good fight, especially if they are in your local areas. With all the awful rulings coming down from the SCOTUS, it’s not hyperbolic to say that we must be fighting at every level of government to ensure the survival of our country.

We hope that you will also continue to support AADC as we continue our mission to "educate, enlighten, empower, and enlist."

Resources have been linked below. Any amplification is appreciated. Please feel free to send me any questions you may have. Thank you all and take care.

AADC
