Please join us for APAP's Summer of Change!Whoo. That's a lot of stuff going on. They're taking it all the way to Denver, baby. And beyond. I do want to throw in an extra little plug for the Asian American Civic Project, APAP's newly-launched program that provides recent college/graduate school graduates or those interested in a second career in politics with an introduction into the political process. Learn more about it here.

Building AAPI Political Power from the Ground Floor
Monday, August 18th, 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM
The Wine Room, 520 Ramona Street, Palo Alto.
Suggested donation of $10-$20.
You're invited to a fundraiser in San Jose* for the Asian American Civic Project (apapipeline.org), a new political training and placement program for Asian American and Pacific Islander recent college graduates. The project is run by the APA for Progress PAC under the leadership of Clarence Tong.
In collaboration with Emily's List and Annie's List, the Asian American Civic Project funds and trains five Campaign Fellows and places them with campaigns in communities throughout the country with AAPI communities in battleground states such as Illinois, Minnesota, Nevada and Washington State.
Part of the barrier to AAPIs achieving our full political potential is the shortage of AAPI political campaign managers, legislators and civic leaders and as well as the lack of a strategic pipeline to encourage, facilitate and support political participation within AAPI communities. The Asian American Civic Project is intended to serve as one of those pipelines to give recent graduates or those interested in a second career in politics an introduction into the political process.
Join the Host Committee for this event at $100 give/get. Contact Keith Kamisugi at keith@keithpr.com.

* We're awaiting confirmation from the venue for this event.
