Register for Asian American Action Day (AAA Day!)
It's nearly that time of year again! We are heading back to Springfield, IL on May 1 to continue advocating for the Language Equity and Access Act (HB 3222) and ensure it is passed during this legislative season! AFIRE members will join the Pan-Asian Voter Engagement (PAVE) Coalition to make sure the IL legislature can feel our presence and hear our voices.
