Asian Americans have been part of the American story since its earliest days. From those who traveled to the U.S. as a result of changing immigration policies, to refugees who came to American shores in search of safety, to recent immigrants who continue to join our nation in search of the famed "American Dream," the one indisputable truth about our community is its breadth, diversity, and resilience.

And yet, we have seen our community ignored in national conversations about the very policies that define our experience: immigration, voting rights, and so much more.
