API PA empowers APIs in Pennsylvania through political, electoral, and legislative efforts, focusing on saving Chinatown and seeking justice for Christian Hall. They engage in direct voter contact, build solidarity with aligned communities, and advocate for justice and cultural preservation.

Asian Pacific Islander Political Alliance’s (API PA) mission is to build long-term power for APIs in Pennsylvania by coordinating political, electoral, and legislative work to hold our elected officials accountable; engaging in culturally competent and linguistically accessible direct voter contact with our communities; and building solidarity with other aligned communities of color across the state.

Priority Issues:

We will focus on two issues that are especially important to our Asian American communities when collecting voter registrations. They are: 1) Save Chinatown - In 2022, the billionaire owners of the 76ers basketball team announced their intent to build a new $1.3 billion arena one block away from Philadelphia’s historic Chinatown. Chinatown is the cultural heart of Asian American Pennsylvania. It is a unique cultural asset providing indispensable in-language and community support to countless Chinese and other Asian American immigrants, elders, children, and families. Our work to Save Chinatown builds on 50 years of organizing and power-building for Philadelphia’s impacted Asian American community. We are proud to take on the mantle from our elders. Our fight today is the root from which the strength and political will of Asian Americans in Pennsylvania will grow so we can achieve what we need to thrive. 2) Justice for Christian Hall - Christian Hall, a Chinese American teenager, experienced a mental health crisis in Monroe County, PA on December 30th, 2020. Though Christian did not present a threat and was clearly in crisis, Pennsylvania State Troopers responded by shooting him seven times. This horrific outcome was preventable. Since Christian’s killing, API PA has been working with the Hall family, as well as local organizations Lehigh Valley Stands Up and Monroe County NAACP, to get justice for Christian Hall. Through this statewide campaign, we are educating our members and the public on how police and state violence impacts our API communities and about the necessity of language-accessible and culturally competent mental health support as an alternative to armed police officers. We held a successful lobby day in Harrisburg on October 17, 2023 for our Justice For Christian Hall Bill. The bill now has 22 co-sponsors in the PA House of Representatives and we expect it to be formally introduced in early 2024.

Priority Issues:

We understand that young people are not monoliths in how they view issues or in what they are most passionate about, which is why NextGen conducts comprehensive focus groups and polling. Based on this polling, we know that the specific issues young people care most about include: Climate change, Racial justice, Economic justice, Student debt, Abortion access and reproductive rights, Democracy, and Human Rights. Engaging and educating young people on the issues they care most about in an intersectional way is critical to growing the civic engagement and education of youth. We meet young people where they are at through these issues to further their overall capacity to build change in their communities. NextGen collects voter registrations in a neutral and nonpartisan manner in compliance with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. NextGen staff does not advocate for issues or policies while collecting voter registration applications, but does engage with young people on issues of importance to them in other contexts. NextGen was founded on the idea that only the courage and imagination of young people could solve our country’s most pressing issues, from climate change to racial and economic equality. By building infrastructure rooted in issues-education for young people ages 18-35, NextGen helps ensure their consistent civic engagement and leadership. NextGen is one of only a few national organizations dedicated exclusively to educating and engaging young people to vote in order to strengthen our democracy. We understand that young people are not monoliths in how they view issues or in what they are most passionate about, which is why NextGen conducts comprehensive focus groups and polling. This polling is intended to allow for segmented universes and messaging based on factors like geography, gender, race, college/no college and stage of life, which is key to engaging young people effectively. Based on this polling, we know that the specific issues young people care most about include: Climate change Racial justice Economic justice Student debt Abortion access and reproductive rights Democracy Human Rights Engaging and educating young people on the issues they care most about is critical to growing the civic engagement and education of youth. We meet young people where they are at through these issues to further their overall capacity to build change in their communities and participate in our democratic process.

Organizing Empower Project (c4/PAC)

Update this information

Relational organizing and trusted messengers are the keys to meeting the moment and building a larger, better-informed, and more engaged universe of voters. In 2025, we will use our unique ability to communicate with challenging communities of voters and our existing network of 3 million people, launching a year-round relational organizing program to maintain engagement, build trust, and drive action leading up to the next election.

Organizing Empower Project has launched a multi-state paid relational program to build the largest incentivized relational organizing program in history in 10 high-profile states to reach voters not typically reachable by other means and leverage the power of relational organizing to maximize impact.

Empower Project is a communications, organizing, and technology non-profit that is a leader in relational organizing - leveraging the power of trusted messengers by having community members build lists of friends and family to communicate and influence behavior, promote informed decision-making, and increase meaningful civic engagement. We recruit and manage the trusted messengers, build the technology, coordinate with partner organizations, organize trainings, and direct the strategy that allows this sophisticated approach to communications to happen.

Red Wine & Blue (c4)

Update this information

Now is the time to seize upon suburban women’s visceral opposition to Republican attacks on their freedom, their children, and democracy. RWB is doing just that through our year-round relational organizing program. We build community and tap the networks of women in our community to reach voters we need to win.

Red Wine & Blue has built hyper-local organizing infrastructure and culturally-relevant communications that engages diverse suburban women where they are, supports them to represent their views, and doesn't go away. We seize moments of opportunity to achieve policy wins, but most importantly, we are building a community that ensures suburban women become a permanent fixture in the movement for a multiracial democracy. RWB has grown into a community of nearly half a million women by providing a welcoming pathway to political engagement for women of all political backgrounds – including many who have never been political before.

Priority Issues:

As soon as the Dobbs decision leaked, thousands of women in the RWB community began sharing deeply personal abortion stories – many for the first time. Every story was different, but all of them unifying diverse suburban women around the visceral belief that every woman’s reproductive decisions must be her own., , And then came then came the IVF news out of Alabama that has our members reeling so we launched the engagement campaign "Save IVF and Birth Control". , , This followed the same pattern we saw beginning in the Spring of 2021 when RWB members began reporting disruptions at school board meetings - often from parents without kids in their districts. Suburban moms flocked to our trainings to unify in support of their kids, teachers, and public education. , , , There’s no question that suburban women want reproductive freedom and inclusive, high quality public schools. But because of an organizing gap, they are often drowned out by a small, loud, well-funded extremist minority. RWB fills that gap - we organize around suburban women’s visceral opposition to attacks on their freedom, their children, and democracy.

Sister District Action Network (c4/PAC)

Update this information

Sister District Advocacy Network (SDAN) furthers the common good and general welfare of the community through programs designed to achieve the following goals: educating Americans about the role of state legislatures and the potential for state legislative policy to impact the lives of individuals and communities, increasing public trust in state legislatures, promoting greater representativeness of state legislators, and building opportunities for community-centered civic engagement. By increasing trust, representativeness, and civic engagement, SDAN will improve the quality of public policy passed by state legislatures and the trust in state government, to the benefit of all Americans.

Our narrative change and storytelling program creates, measures, and disseminates compelling content and messages about the power and promise of state policy. Our research program investigates, measures and reports on crucial trends at the state legislative level, including the composition and reflectiveness of state legislatures, voter participation in state elections, and state legislative electoral outcomes over time. Our State Bridges program will raise funds for 501(C)(3) organizations running year round nonpartisan organizing programs in their local communities.

Supports Democrats running for competitive state legislative seats, where precision investments can close narrow margins and win entire chambers. We “sister” our local volunteers with endorsed candidates, bringing capacity for phonebanking, fundraising, and more. We complement this with campaign services, rooted in research and tailored to the district.

Sister District builds enduring progressive power in state legislatures. We do this by supporting candidates, mobilizing volunteers, empowering lawmakers, and educating voters.

Priority Issues:

Sister District works exclusively in purple districts. We collaborate closely with our candidates to identify the most compelling messages for their constituencies, and we help to develop content, such as phonebanking scripts, mailer content, and stump speeches, that speak to local concerns. Priority issues may include climate, abortion, public education, gun safety, and high-quality job opportunities., , We also help voters forge a broader connection between participating in state legislative races and legislation related to the issues they care about most. Because of downballot roll-off, there are lower levels of participation in state legislative elections, and our outreach incorporates evidence-backed messages to increase turnout, such as the potential impact of winning a seat and the small number of votes needed to determine the outcome of an entire race.
