The Presidential Town Hall was the largest convergence of over 2,000 Asian American and Pacific Islander professionals and community leaders in the nation. Over 1.1 million viewers also streamed the town hall online. We organized virtually and it was held in the afternoon of June 27, 2020. This was a historic moment because, as a collective group, this was the largest opportunity for the presidential candidates to participate and address our communities’ needs for the General Election. This also allowed our communities to unite our voices in political engagement that year and into the future.

Sign ups to host a watch party and to learn about how to become a SUPPORTING ORGANIZATION were organized here.
