Fresh Off the Vote: A Night of Voter Empowerment and Drinks
Fresh Off the Vote: A Night of Voter Empowerment and Drinks
Fresh Off the Vote: A Night of Voter Empowerment and Drinks
Event Details:
To kick off the 2016 election season, KALCA (Korean American League for Civic Action) is partnering with KAPA (Korean Americans for Political Advancement) to raise awareness and funds to address and combat barriers facing Asian American voters. Taking place on November 3rd at 6:30pm, Fresh Off the Vote: A Night of Voter Empowerment and Drinks is both a celebration of Korean and Asian American empowerment, and a push for these communities to increase voter presence and power.
As a much needed opportunity for people to meet advocates, community organizers, public servants, and non-profit professionals in the front lines, guests will be able to enjoy libations and food while networking with community members who care about social, civic, and political change for Asian Americans.
To show how our communities can be politically active, Community Board Chair, Gigi Li, will chat with guests about the current Chinatown rezoning controversy. By learning about how Gigi and Chinatown’s community leaders are fighting to keep the neighborhood affordable for immigrant communities, attendees will have the opportunity to see how individuals and civic groups can protect their political and racial identities.
Attendees who provide their business card/contact information and register to vote at the event will have the opportunity to win a delectable food and karaoke experience at INSA, a Korean BBQ restaurant opening in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Package includes one hour of karaoke (up to 8 people), one beverage per guest, and a selection from the bar menu to feed that passion for singing! Restrictions may apply.
Should you have any questions regarding the event, please contact Yejin Lee, Steering Committee Member (yejin@kalca.org) or Charles Youn, Executive Director (charles@kalca.org).
