We are thrilled to invite you to the 2024 Taste of Democracy – our annual gathering to celebrate the progress we've made together and look ahead to the exciting opportunities for even greater impact. The Taste of Democracy is a special occasion for us to reflect on the strides we’ve made in advancing democracy and amplifying AAPI voices. It is also our opportunity to honor those who have dedicated their lives to these efforts with the presentation of the Beacon of Democracy Award. Reserve your tickets now! We look forward to celebrating with you!!

We did our job by casting our vote. Now it’s time to let election workers do theirs by making sure that every one of our votes is counted and certified. Many down-ballot races are still undecided, and every vote counts. Let’s make sure all our voices are heard! #CountEveryVote
