Voter Outreach Training & Education (VOTE) Network

Periodically, APANO offers opportunities to review demographic and policy data to help shape analysis and inform our political priorities. Through these exercises, participants can learn how to leverage research, writing skills, and data to influence policy change. To learn more and hear of opportunities to engage in this process, let us know! Submit your information here to receive information about our advocacy work and legislative updates.

Each legislative session, APANO welcomes the community to join us in Salem for APANO’s Lobby Day. An opportunity to influence the decisions being made by elected officials about issues that affect our community, Lobby Day is a day-long event hosted at the Oregon State Capitol. There, APANO members use their collective stories to advance equity in meaningful conversations directly with our elected officials and their staff. 

These gatherings and legislative trainings leading up to Lobby Day prepare members to craft their stories and learn about the ongoing advocacy work at the capitol. Let us know if you’d like to join us for the next Lobby Day by filling out our form here!

In our nonpartisan capacity, APANO partakes in campaigning and organizing year round. We hope to encourage and foster effective voter turnout. We participate in political education activities around specific ballot measure campaigns and issue areas. We create messaging that will turn out and engage AAPI voters, and we do that with the support of our community showing up. Thank you for all that you do! 

Join us in our efforts to bring about the world we wish to see. Partake in our outreach through voter engagement and education. We’ll canvas together, phonebank, write letters to the editor, and partake in speaker trainings — and we’ll have some fun doing it! Sign up for updates and upcoming opportunities here.
