Our campaign is built on a strong foundation of grassroots organizing – of friends talking to friends, neighbors talking to neighbors, and ordinary Americans working for change in their communities.

The Asian American and Pacific Islanders video features AAPI supporters from across the nation explaining why they support Barack Obama. As Barack’s sister Maya says, “It’s time for us to speak out to reach out, to raise our voices collectively and individually and make sure that the concerns of the AAPI community are heard.” As one supporter in the video notes, Asian Americans are stepping up to volunteer for Barack because “we are asked to be part of something larger.”
