Run for Something PAC

Elect Progressive AAPI Candidates all year long!

While the AAPI community is the fastest growing demographic in the country, it has the least amount of political representation across all elected offices. As the political voice and power of the AAPI community grows, it is our responsibility to support and amplify young progressive Chinese, Korean, Samoan, Thai, Filipino, Japanese, Vietnamese, and the many many many other AAPI leaders running for office.


We are encouraging you to support RFS’ AAPI candidates by donating directly to their campaigns. 


If we want to see change, we have to empower and support those that can create a lasting impact on their communities and build a legacy that will open the door for millions of other AAPI candidates to run and win.


Your donation will be split evenly between the inspiring candidates we're working with in 2022. Every dollar makes a big difference.
