“A part of me feels pissed off it took this long for the political establishment to pay so much attention to Asian-American voters like me, especially after years of feeling isolated by the system”
Because campaigns can’t afford to ignore or take for granted the votes of young Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders any longer, many California-based nonpartisan groups, like VietRise and KAFLA, as well as the local branches of the Democratic and Republican parties, are working to elevate their legislative power. Like most outreach groups, they focus on phone banking, door-to-door knocking, and other targeted messaging with an emphasis on providing information in a multitude of languages.
“It’s my place to make sure that when [young voters] are looking for a space, the space we offer is safe,” Phan told MTV News. “We’re not closing the door on anyone who wants to have a conversation with us.” I’ll admit: A part of me feels pissed off it took this long for the political establishment to pay so much attention to voters like me, especially after years of feeling isolated by the system.
