AP Exclusive: Stop AAPI Hate launches a nonprofit to mobilize voters before midterms
The group plans to register voters and back candidates who support immigration and civil rights as it expands outreach into red and competitive districts.
- Stop AAPI Hate launched Stop AAPI Hate Action, a political arm dedicated to mobilizing Asian American and Pacific Islander voters before the midterms. Co-founder Manjusha Kulkarni called it a major step for the organization.
- The initiative responds to President Donald Trump's pressure and GOP efforts to redraw voting maps and weaken the Voting Rights Act, alongside increased anti-Asian racism fueled by restrictive immigration policies.
- Managing director Andy Wong plans to flip red districts by enlisting phone bank volunteers who speak Korean, Vietnamese, Cantonese, and Mandarin, targeting competitive purple districts in Iowa, Nebraska, and Alaska starting in July.
- After facing racist harassment in Atlanta, Navia Gutta described the experience as a wake-up call about privilege. Kulkarni noted the organization aims to harness such individual pain into collective political power.
- Beyond immediate elections, the group seeks to build lasting infrastructure to empower AAPI community members as leaders, maintaining engagement rather than limiting efforts to major election cycles.
