(Don’t) VOTE #TakeAction PSA

The Jubilee Project and ISA (International Secret Agents) launched their #TakeAction Campaign to empower and inspire young people to make their voices heard. As part of this campaign, they released a new PSA called #TakeAction Campaign – “(Don’t) VOTE”. This PSA was produced by the Jubilee Project and International Secret Agents (ISA) in partnership with 18 Million Rising, an initiative to amplify APA political voices and grow our movement. Participating in the PSA are Arden Cho, Cathy Nguyen, Clara Chung, David Choi, David So, Far East Movement, Fung Bros, Just Kidding Films, Kevjumba, Legaci, Ricky Shucks, Timothy Delaghetto, and Wong Fu Productions.

There are approximately 18 million Asians and Pacific Islanders in the United States and in 2008, only 55% of Asian American citizens of voting age registered to vote (the lowest rate of all races). This is perhaps the most important election, and it’s important for the community to Take Action. To encourage young people to register, they are raffling three autographed “(Don’t) VOTE” Scripts, autographed by everyone in the video.

To win an autographed script:
1. Register to vote here by September 25, 2012
2. Tweet your pledge to vote in the upcoming elections, and include in your tweet: “@JubileeProject @ISAtvOfficial #TakeAction18mr.org”
The Jubilee Project and ISA will choose three random winners to receive the signed script by September 26, 2012.

Rep. Honda Statement on Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

Congressman Mike Honda released a message celebrating the 20th anniversary of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Here’s his message:

I’m proud to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month this May. This year’s theme for APA Heritage Month is “Striving for Excellence in Leadership, Diversity, and Inclusion,” which are three important principles to reflect on this month. Now numbering more than 17 million people, the AAPI community has become the fastest-growing racial group in the United States, and we have many accomplishments to celebrate and a truly diverse history to honor.

This year marks a series of anniversaries for the AAPI community, including the 30th Anniversary since the unpunished murder of Vincent Chin in Detroit, Michigan; the 70th Anniversary since the signing of Executive Order 9066 which placed 120,000 Americans of Japanese descent in internment camps, my family included; and the 130th Anniversary since the passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Addressing these injustices throughout our nation’s history has not only strengthened civil rights and civil liberties, but also has helped to make our country a more perfect union.

Beyond acknowledging the challenges we have faced as a community, APA Heritage Month also recognizes the progress we have made in striving for excellence in leadership, diversity, and inclusion in all sectors of society. We’ve seen this being demonstrated through the growing number of AAPI federal judges and elected officials at the local, state, and national level; the rise of AAPI celebrities, entertainers, and artists in the mainstream media; the successes we have seen after creating access to health care for millions of AAPIs; and even the stardom of individuals like Jeremy Lin, for example, who have made us feel proud to be AAPI.

Having served as the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus Chair Emeritus, Immigration Taskforce Chair, and Appropriations Taskforce Chair, this year I am honored to serve the AAPI community and to ensure that America as a whole sees firsthand our valuable contributions and legacy. As we celebrate APA Heritage Month this May, let us take this month – and every month for that matter – to celebrate the values of leadership, diversity, and inclusion exemplified by AAPIs throughout the nation.

Let the celebrations begin.
