2,000+ ICE agents flooding Minnesota isn’t “enforcement.” It’s a show of force that terrorizes immigrant communities, disrupts daily life, and targets communities of color. This is a moral failure—and a civil rights crisis.

Rep. Teresa Mah's commitment to civic engagement comes from her grandfather, a “paper son” who lived through the era of the Chinese Exclusion Act and was denied citizenship for decades. This #GivingTuesday, we honor the generations who paved the way.

APIAVote Executive Director Christine Chen was honored to speak at the APAICS End of Year Briefing. We were proud to share how APIAVote and our partners are helping voters get engaged. Thank you to APAICS for the opportunity to engage with leaders committed to this work!

When immigration enforcement can wrongfully detain more than 170 U.S. citizens, it’s clear the system is broken. When due process fails for some, it fails for everyone. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

The Trump administration has frozen nearly $28B in federal grants, with many cuts hitting Democratic-led districts. Politicizing taxpayer funds undermines fairness, trust, and the foundation of good governance. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

APIAVote joins countless others in mourning the passing of Kent Wong, a beloved friend, mentor, and champion for justice. Kent Wong was a visionary labor leader, educator, and organizer whose life’s work transformed the landscape of immigrant rights and worker justice.

This case could open the door to extreme gerrymandering, letting politicians choose their voters instead of the other way around. That’s not democracy, it’s manipulation. If voting maps can be drawn without limits, fair representation becomes impossible. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/15/u...

Meet our fall interns, Lawrence Legaspi and Eric Chiu! Lawrence and Eric joined us last month and have already hit the ground running—supporting voter outreach, community engagement, and civic education efforts ahead of the 2025 elections. We’re so excited to have them on the team!

Language like this isn’t just offensive — it’s dangerous. When those in political spaces normalize hate and mockery, it corrodes our democracy and devalues our shared humanity.

The Supreme Court could gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — a move that would strip away key protections against racial gerrymandering and weaken voters’ power nationwide. What happens in Louisiana will shape who gets heard in our democracy.

A Supreme Court decision could gut a core protection of the Voting Rights Act—one that safeguards fair representation for communities of color. What’s at stake isn’t just the next election, but the balance of power for generations. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

APIAVote is deeply disappointed by passage of the SAVE Act in the House of Representatives today. This legislation presents an unnecessary and harmful barrier to voter registration. Read our full statement: apia.vote/saveact
