大選前一周 亞裔青年總動員
電話選民投票 鼓勵缺席投票

【聖路易時報訊】為幫助提高密蘇里州亞裔選民在2020大選中的投票率,聖路易亞裔青年義工組織AACS(www.asianamericancivicscholars.com)已經做了兩個多星期的電話選民動員活動了,總共已經組織了35名青年義工參與電話選民動員活動,其中25人是初次參與這樣的活動。

AACS至今已經打電話聯繫了近2000位密蘇里州的亞裔選民。

AACS10月24日和25日週末一共有17位義工報名,距離大選日只有10天了,他們這個週末的主打方向是聖路易本地的華裔選民。這些年輕人不少是華二代,絕大部分都不夠年齡參與投票,但他們希望能通過自己的努力,幫助鼓勵更多亞裔和華裔選民參與投票,行使自己的公民權利。

AACS此次項目選民動員的活動是與MO Asian American Youth Foundation等組織合作進行,AACS的負責人包括Larry Qian, 劉敏教授 (Professor Min Liu)等。

Missouri Asian American Youth Foundation Reaches Thousands, Holds Vote Absentee Day Celebration on Oct 24

Spurs St. Louisans to vote absentee to skip the lines on Election Day

The Missouri Asian American Youth Foundation, the first statewide Asian American nonprofit to address civic engagement, is holding a Vote Absentee Day celebration on 10/24 at Nami Ramen, across from the Mid-county public library in Clayton.

This follows on a nonpartisan phonebanking campaign that has reached several thousand Asian American voters in the St. Louis area, and a voter education mailer that went to almost 9,000 Asian Americans across the state.

The phonebanking campaign has been in partnership with the Asian American Civic Scholars, a group of high school youth, and the mailer was produced in partnership with APIA Vote, a national nonprofit.

WHO: Asian American St. Louisans partner with local entrepreneur Jason Jan of Nami Ramen to give out free drinks, snacks, and totes to encourage absentee voting.

WHAT: Joining the first ever national Vote Early Day, the Missouri Asian American Youth Foundation is hosting a voter waystation with free coffee, Japanese sodas, tote bags, and snacks to celebrate absentee voting ahead of Election Day.

WHEN: Oct. 24, 9am – 1pm

WHERE: Outside of Nami Ramen (46 N Central, Clayton), directly across from the Clayton library (a satellite voting location)
