From grassroots events to the convention floor, AAPIs made their voices heard last week at the Democratic National Convention in Denver. A record 364 Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) delegates represented their states and territories at this year’s convention, a 20% increase over 2004. They were joined by AAPI celebrities such as Daniel Dae Kim (Lost) and Kelly Hu (X2, Scorpion King). This year’s convention program also prominently featured several AAPI speakers, including Sen. Obama’s sister Maya Soetoro-Ng, Congressman Mike Honda, California State Controller John Chiang, and Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs Director Tammy Duckworth.

Original post written by Oiyan Poon at Asian Americans for Obama

I'm recovering from a long day in Orange County yesterday. Driving down there from Los Angeles yesterday with my friend Jennifer, we both commented on how rare we ever spend time in the "orange curtain." It takes something special to get us Angelinos to the OC, but to be honest we were also a bit skeptical about the "APIA Presidential Town Hall," by APIA Vote, because there are 2 important primary elections coming up on Tuesday making this weekend a critical GOTV weekend. So we were pretty sure that none of the candidates would make a personal appearance, but we were looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new people. Plus, there was a "Unity" event scheduled later that evening at a local lounge, to bring together AAPI's supporting Clinton and Obama. Yes folks, we need to unify in time for the November general election... for Obama! That's right, I said it :)

Thanks to the heroic efforts of numerous volunteers, Asian Americans for Obama has put together a set of videos about Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and Maya Soetoro-Ng (Barack's sister), as well as supporter created videos of grassroots AAPIs for Obama and the popular Si Se Puede Cambiar music video, with Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Spanish subtitles. These videos have been assembled into a DVD that will be distributed by grassroots supporters throughout the AAPI community, but you (and anyone else) can watch them online now on YouTube at this page:
