Dear Russell and Hyepin,
I hope you are remaining healthy, safe and sane. It looks like this is our new reality for awhile. Anyhow, I wanted to reach out since APIAVote's Presidential Town Hall is still proceeding on June 27 as a virtual event.
I wanted to see if you could help me reach out to the local and national network of AAPI religious communities to sign up as a Supporting Organization. We want these local communities to engage and tune in. There are so many issues at stake in this year's elections and our future. We want to make sure the AAPI community is seen and heard. We hope to provide an initial update to the campaigns in a few days with the list of participating organizations. Organizations can continue to sign-up since we will continue to update the campaigns. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for considering.

Since 2008, the Presidential Town Hall has served as a forum for AAPIs to advocate for our issues to be addressed and on the radar of campaigns and the media. In giving presidential candidates a space to directly address AAPI community members, leaders, and organizers, the town hall has become one of the few spaces geared specifically for Presidential candidates to speak directly to AAPIs, about AAPIs.
As a nonpartisan event, the Presidential Town Hall will be the largest convergence of over 5,000 Asian American and Pacific Islander professionals and community leaders in the nation. We will be organizing virtually and it will be held in the afternoon of June 27, 2020. This is a historic moment because, as a collective group, this will be the largest opportunity for the presidential candidates to participate and address our communities' needs for the General Election. This will also allow our communities to unite our voices in political engagement this year and into the future.
In addition, a series of workshops and convenings will be organized before and after the Town Hall. We will be creating spaces to support community building. The summit will be interactive and allow participants to be updated on a number of issues impacting our lives amid the COVID-19 pandemic and provide you the skills to organize for the 2020 elections.
We can only do this with YOUR PARTICIPATION. At this time, we are looking for local and national AAPI organizations to sign-up as a supporting organization at https://www.apiavote.org/townhall-support. We will send information on how to host a watch party. We will be providing the campaigns with an updated list of organizations who will be organizing and participating. Please sign-up up today or by May, 30, 2020, and forward this to other community organizations who can participate as well. Go to www.apiavote.org/townhall to view the 2016 Presidential Town Hall.
Thank you for your support!
