Upcoming Events
APA VOICE Civic Engagement and Redistricting Task Force
OCA-New York Chapter is a proud member of APA VOICE Civic Engagement and its Redistricting Task Force. Two recently released reports document the coalition’s leading work on civic engagement in New York.
In 2024, the APA VOICE coalition celebrates a significant milestone, a decade of organizing together on civic engagement which now includes our second cycle of unifying New York’s Asian American communities with one voice for the once in a decade redistricting process. This is Where We Draw The Line provides an overview of the Redistricting Task Force’s advocacy during the 2020 redistricting cycle to preserve and create Asian American communities of interest. The report identifies the cycle’s successes and shortcomings as well as recommendations for a roadmap leading up to the 2030 Census and the next redistricting cycle.
Redistricting is key to how our coalition members build power for Asian American immigrant communities and how it shapes our year to year election outreach to mobilize our electorate. To accompany This is Where We Draw The Line, APA VOICE is also proud to present Driving Progress: A Decade of Civic Impact for New York’s Asian American Communities.
Read how APA VOICE’s collective work led to historic successes and identified ongoing challenges for the upcoming 2024 presidential elections, 2030 Census and Redistricting Cycle.
