Help us register more AAPI voters to the Democratic Party by tabling at community events, attending naturalization ceremonies for new citizens, and participating in voter registration drives.

Activities and Events Committee – Chaired by Maggie Ta

Help us to plan activities and events for Club members such as socials, fundraisers, and volunteer events.

Outreach Committee – Chaired by Mark Leo

Help us to outreach to other AAPI organizations in San Diego including student groups, cultural organizations, coalitions, and political action committees. Outreach will help us to recruit new members and campaign for our candidates.
