Seven months after a historic election that saw incredible gains for Asian American officeholders, the AAPI Caucus at Netroots Nation will bring together Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders -- as well as those who are interested in issues impacting these communities -- in a conversation about where we are and what we need to do in order to advance our diverse communities.
The AAPI Caucus will be in Room 114.
Netroots Nation, the premier annual gathering of the country's progressive online activists will be held June 20–23 in San Jose. #NN13 will include 70 panels, 30 training sessions, inspiring keynotes, film screenings and other engaging sessions designed to educate, stimulate and inspire the nation’s next generation of progressive leaders.
Each year, thousands of bloggers, newsmakers, social justice advocates, labor and organizational leaders, grassroots organizers and online activists come together to make new connections, hone their organizing skills, share best practices and build stronger relationships with others working on the issues they care most about. And each year, some of the brightest minds in progressive politics come to Netroots Nation to speak with—and hear from—our community.
