...ready to fight? We are.

To Enjoy Equal Citizenship, We Need 80-20 PAC

Why?
1. Asian Americans represent the fastest growing racial group in the United States. The post-2016 election situation tells us that equal citizenship is no guarantee unless we fight for it!
2. The higher admission standard required for our children to enter top colleges, and the lower glass ceiling we face at work place show that we do not enjoy equal citizenship yet.
3. Powerful organizations in African and Jewish American communities, such as the NAACP, AIPAC, the American Jewish Committee, and the Anti-Defamation League, have demonstrated that civil rights and liberty in the United States can only be safeguarded if both community-serving organizations and the courts work together. 80-20 PAC is one such major organization that specifically serves Asian American communities.
With the Lunar New Year just passed, Asian Americans need to emulate one exemplary practice of many other ethnic groups in the United States: the Tithe. In this way, we can truly develop our American identity while preserving our unique heritage. 80-20 PAC depends on you for survival and prosperity!
