*We are especially looking for volunteers that can speak Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali, Tagalog, and other Asian languages. (Possible compensation for volunteers with language abilities)
This election is a really amazing opportunity to get AAPI voters out to the polls, engage voters on progressive issues, and have our voices heard in the city of Chicago! Unfortunately, we’ve witnessed anti-immigrant treatment at the polls, so we are deeply committed to work with people to understand their rights at the polls, receive language assistance, and make sure the AAPI community is overall supported in this political process.
Sign up to volunteer yourself OR for your group by contacting asullivan@advancingjustice-chicago.org or 217-979-3633.
Poll Watching!
Poll Watchers visit polling sites on Election Day to ensure that the law is being followed. This role is essential for making sure Asian American and immigrant voters are able to cast their ballots. We have multiple training options available before February 24.
