In lieu of our annual trip to Springfield, we’ll be hosting our Asian American Action Day on Facebook live! The Pan-Asian Voter Empowerment (PAVE) Coalition is excited to build power with our communities on May 28th at 6:00PM.

Join the virtual action day to learn more about our issue campaigns, watch riveting cultural performances, and hear from elected officials.

Come hear stories about how COVID-19 is impacting our communities, and how PAVE is fighting back through our work around language access, our participation in the campaign for expanding paid sick leave, and our continued efforts to protect immigrants in Illinois. We will also talk about our ongoing legislative campaigns, including advocating for an Asian American school curriculum.
