A Note on Nonpartisanship

In a contentious presidential election year, it is undeniable that the voices of partisan politics are loud in our country. We recognize that political debate is essential to a functioning democracy—but it is not appropriate everywhere. In that spirit, we write to share a note on nonpartisanship.

AAPIConnect proudly works with leaders from across the political spectrum to advance the interests of Asian Americans, who are very politically diverse. Our leadership team and membership comprise Republicans, Democrats and independents, and we welcome individuals of all political persuasions to join our organization. While individual members of our Board of Directors may choose to involve themselves with political campaigns, as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, AAPIConnect neither endorses political candidates nor engages in any campaign-related activity in compliance with federal law.

After all, the cause of Asian American visibility is not — and ought not be — a partisan issue.
