Celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander Heritage Month

On May 24 at 5:30 p.m. (ET) join the League of Women Voters of Florida as we host a program highlighting Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. In the past two decades, AAPI communities have become one of the fastest growing racial or ethnic groups in the United States.

The 2020 presidential election saw historic voter turnout by the AAPI electorate. AAPI voters had the highest growth of any racial group in 2020, with a 47% increase. This milestone happened despite a rise of anti-Asian hate and violence, and a global pandemic that shut down the US economy. However, it did not happen overnight. This was a result of decades of population growth, coordinated organizing, and strategic investments to encourage AAPIs to register and vote at the same levels as other communities.
