Vote
We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to change the direction of our city. This February 28th, we have the chance to make OUR voices heard. After years that have been hard on many of us, we need to elect leaders who will fight for us. If you care about our community’s future, then MAKE A PLAN TO VOTE in the February 28th Municipal Election.
We can stand up for our Asian American community and vote for the change that we so desperately need and deserve. Chicago’s municipal elections are around the corner in February, and you now have the exciting opportunity to participate in electing representatives that truly represent YOU. For too many years, we have seen policies that leave out the Asian community from decisions that impact our lives and those of our loved ones – so it is important that we vote this year and not let this valuable opportunity and our right as citizens go to waste.
Stop hate crimes. Improve our schools. Keep our communities safe. Make sure our voices are heard. VOTE.
