Left of the Right

More inclusive political representation starts with accessibility.

Our friend InspirLang is hosting a workshop on Saturday to support members of the Cantonese-speaking community share information about Election Day with friends and family. Join her and join us in spreading the word!

Have you tried explaining the voting process to your Cantonese families but found it too difficult because of the unfamiliar vocabulary? We are running an election day workshop this Saturday to go over election day related terms and the NYC ballot in Cantonese so that you can explain voting to your Cantonese families before the 11/2 election day! Sign up now and students of all levels are welcome! https://inspirlang.com/election

I am psyched when Inspirlang is doing stuff to make a tiny impact in our community!

Our mission is to elevate underrepresented voices in politics. Right now, Asian women are screaming - and it's time to listen. Read our op-ed in today's Newsweek.

Asian women must be represented in government: A community call to action | Opinion Hate crimes targeting Asians in the United States increased by 149% between 2019 and 2020, despite a nationwide decrease in total hate crimes during the same period.

Asian women are severely underrepresented in government. Now, more than ever, it's critical that our voices are heard.

Read our community call to action in Newsweek - are you that candidate?

Our hearts are flooded with grief, pain, anger, and exhaustion. But beneath those emotions is a spark. The same spark that led us to start Left of the Right.

Those making decisions for this country, from every level of government, must reflect the diversity of its people - because each of our lived experiences is valid and worthy.

There is a lot of work to do to break the system of White Supremacy in our politics.

To those feeling silenced, gaslit, and alone, we stand with you and affirm our commitment to support candidates and projects that lift up your voices to affect change in our politics. We will never stop fighting.

Biden just signed into law the COVID relief bill, one of the biggest redistributions of wealth to the poor and working class in our lifetimes. We made this happen.

We're committed to supporting first-time candidates who reflect the diversity of this country and their communities. If you've thought about running for office, we're behind you!

Happy !

National Run for Office Day Make a big change in your community and pledge to run for office in 2021!
