Asian Americans seek greater political power after shootings
Continued from page 9
fiercely blue within a generation.
Democrats hope a similar shift may
have begun more recently in Arizona.
Wong said the Asian-American
population began to boom in the
mid-1990s with the creation of the
H1-B visa program, which made it
easier for employers to hire
immigrants in specialty professions.
Many of those people have now been
in the country for more than 20 years,
and they, or second-generation
immigrant families, are starting to
come into their own politically,
registering to vote and casting ballots
at higher rates.
In November’s election, 70% of
Asian-American voters supported
Biden, according to AP VoteCast, a
nationwide survey of the electorate.
Asian Americans now represent the
nation’s
fastest-growing
ethnic
minority, accounting for nearly 5% of
eligible voters in last year’s election,
according to the Pew Research
Center.
U.S. Census data showed that the
community had one of the largest
increases in voting rates of any group
in the 2018 midterm elections as
compared with the 2014 midterms,
jumping from an estimated 27% of
eligible voters who actually voted in
2014 to 40% in 2018. But the largest
Asian-American communities are
still
mostly
concentrated
in
non-swing presidential states, which
means neither political party has
focused significant resources on voter
outreach.
“There’s not the same incentive for
parties to mobilize them, and it’s
much harder because it takes some
resources, it takes some attention to
outreach and language to understand
Asian-American issues as well,”
Wong said. “Those things all
contribute to lower rates of political
participation
among
Asian
Americans, but people — mistakenly,
I think — assume that Asian
Americans
are
somehow
less
interested in U.S. civic life.”
That’s evolving. Wong points to
statehouse races in Virginia this
year, where Asian-American voters
in the Washington suburbs could
have decisive influence.
“People are now much more
invested, especially since people in
positions of power have been
constantly silencing our community,”
said Michelle Chan, a Chinese-
Malaysian-American
voter
in
Alexandria, Virginia.
Kohli
of
Asian
Americans
Advancing
Justice
said
the
community could also swing house
districts in Pennsylvania, North
Carolina, and Texas during the 2022
midterm elections.
Democratic representative Grace
Meng of New York, the first vice chair
of the Congressional Asian Pacific
American Caucus, said many Asian
Americans have reacted to the
shootings by trying to better protect
themselves, donating to civic groups,
and even forming brigades to walk
with older people in majority Asian
neighborhoods
or
distributing
whistles to try to curb incidents of
racism and violence. But she said
greater political engagement was the
next step.
“We are literally taught not to
speak up and not to rock the boat,”
Meng said. “And so, during this past
year especially, it’s been such a
challenge to say to our older
generation Asian immigrants —
Asian Americans who might even
have been here for three decades —
that now is the time to be invisible no
more, that they have to speak up.”
Nabilah Islam, a Bangladeshi-
American Democratic strategist and
organizer in Georgia, ran for congress
unsuccessfully last year. She said she
felt compelled to do so because,
although she had lived in her district
outside Atlanta her whole life, she
“never saw anyone who looked like
me” campaigning.
“What makes a real difference is
having activists from within your
own community show up,” Islam said.
“For so long, we’ve had this top-down
strategy where you typically, frankly,
have these white consultants come in
and tell you how you should organize
your communities. But they’ve never
actually visited these homes and
talked to these families.”
The Asian American and Pacific
Islander community encompasses
people from an array of different
heritages and cultures who often
speak languages other than English.
Organizers say they are working to
better unify those distinct heritages
while teaming up with activists from
other backgrounds, including African
Americans and Latinos — and that
the outpouring of public support
following the shootings could make
such efforts easier.
“Asian
Americans
didn’t
necessarily grow up with that
vocabulary of advocacy and how to
fight for ourselves,” Meng said. That’s
necessitated having “to learn that
from other communities like the
Black and Latino communities and
walking alongside them, witnessing
their struggles.”
Associated Press writers Emily
Swanson and Lisa Mascaro in Wash-
ington contributed to this report.
