Asian Americans being unapologetically Asian American in America is my favorite mode in the face of all the xenophobia and anti-Asian sentiment of 2020.

We mobilize. We vote. We say fuck you in ways our parents could not when faced with hate. #AAPI

18 to 29-year-old #AAPI voters cast 84,000 early votes in 2016.

So far this year, young Asian American voters have cast 330,000 early ballots. An almost 400% increase!

Let’s keep it up. Text a friend! https://www.kvue.com/article/life/nearly-half-of-asian-americans-and-pacific-islanders-the-fastest-growing-minority-group-in-the-country-have-cast-ballots-in-travis-county/269-41c83422-593d-4e73-b8d9-3118d0ec7714

Experts said the AAPI community – the fastest-growing racial group in the country – could play a key role in the 2020 election.

“...polls show that Indian Americans are turning decisively to the left, alienated by the @GOP’s divisive rhetoric toward immigrants and minority groups.

72% of registered Indian American voters plan to support Biden, compared with 22% for Trump.” #AAPI https://foreignpolicy.com/2020/10/28/2020-election-indian-americans-blue-wave-texas/

Indian Americans Stir Blue Wave in Deep Red Texas

Trump’s touted his rallies with India’s leader, but the Indian American community is leaning left—and nowhere like in Texas.

“In 2016, Trump won by 44,000 votes in Pennsylvania.

Now, #AAPI make up almost a half a million voters. AAPIs are the margin of victory in Pennsylvania."

A growing Asian American electorate could help swing Pennsylvania back to blue

AAPIs are the margin of victory in the state, says a Philadelphia City Council member, but efforts to reach out to the community have been mixed.

Shout out to @AsianAmNo2Trump for their multilingual resources I’ve been sharing on WeChat.

Wow. More “Nguyen” have voted in person in this Texas county than “Smith” and you know that will mess with Stephen Miller.

Hello #AAPI in Georgia.

“Now up to almost a quarter million registered voters — more than enough to tip a tight race — Asian Americans here lean heavily Democratic and are highly motivated by economic issues, like income inequality.” #AAPIvote

Love seeing the Vietnamese American community showing up for #BidenHarris2020 via the efforts of #Viets4Biden. Their organizers in Seattle have people dancing to that ballot box.

“...there are nearly 172K eligible Asian American voters in North Carolina, representing about 3.5% of the electorate. The state’s total #AAPI population came in at just over 363K — exploding by 154% since 2000.”

Also they have rock star @kaiserkuo.

Asian American vote carries newfound weight in swing state N.C.

Trump and Biden are locked in a dead heat in North Carolina, where the number of eligible AAPI voters could be even higher than statistics show.

This is so wholesome.

So inspired by #AAPI voting in Texas. Thanks @frogchristen. Your grandma is adorable!

“It’s time to go home to a place we once knew, a country of kindness and compassion, empathy and community, tolerance and generosity, integrity and hope.”

#AAPI #AAPIsForBiden #VoteEarly

Mom of a 15 year old. He can’t vote until the next election but he’s seen me vote since he was 3 and Obama was his first president. He debates about policies while gaming with his friends. lol

So inspired by the young voters turning out to #VoteEarly

“Biden picks up endorsements from over 1,100 AAPI leaders.

621,765 Asian Americans who did not vote in 2016 have cast their ballot this cycle, a 34% increase.”

LET’S GO #AAPI! #VOTE

Exclusive: Biden picks up endorsements from over 1,100 AAPI leaders – The Yappie

The news comes as Democratic groups are spending big to mobilize Asian American voters in battleground states.

Shout out to fellow #AAPI meeting people where they are in their communities to get out the vote. This is me in everyone’s WeChat feed today. I know the ones who have American passports see me. lol

#AAPIvote #BidenHarris2020

Love the energy of the Vietnamese American community showing up for #BidenHarris2020!

“ #AAPI could provide the margin of victory in the country’s 10 most contested states.

This growth is most pronounced among 18- to 29-year-olds, who have cast roughly 330,000 ballots — a nearly 400% increase from 2016.”

Asian Americans could be tiebreakers in key swing states, survey and early voting results show

About a third of all AAPI voters live in the 10 most competitive states. More politically engaged than four years ago, they have an outsize influence on the election.

“...there’s a rapidly growing group of voters who threaten to turn the red state into a purple swing state, with a more equal distribution of Republican and Democrat voters - Asian Americans.”

#AAPI will help turn Texas blue.

For Trump and Biden, Asian-American voters are the wildcard

Donald Trump and challenger Joe Biden are polling neck and neck in Texas, which could determine the election. For both men, Asian-Americans could hold the key to the White House

https://thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/us-news/us-election/2020/10/31/asian-americans-us-election/

Listen to the words of racists who feel empowered by Trump and the @GOP to call and leave these voice mails for an #AAPI congresswoman.

We don’t need this shit. #Vote
