NCAAT in Action aims to mobilize AAPI voices and votes to be a unified and powerful force in electoral and civic affairs. For the AAPI community to become politically empowered, more AAPIs championing progressive policies must hold political office. To foster and support this political leadership, NCAAT in Action will
- support elected AAPIs in using their knowledge and lived experience to champion progressive policies;
- build a robust civic engagement program to identify and foster potential candidates who are politically savvy, supported by their community, and who hold progressive values that falls within an equitable and just framework;
- and create and maintain a pipeline of progressive AAPI candidates through candidate training — within a culturally appropriate lens and approach — on campaign strategy, fundraising, and communications.
