Sunday, September 27, 2020 - Nearly two hundred Vietnamese Americans and allies came together for a blockbuster virtual event to mobilize for the upcoming election, with so much at stake. In 2017, right after the gut-wrenching news of the 2016 election, hundreds of progressive Vietnamese Americans from around the nation formed PIVOT, the first national progressive Vietnamese American organization, committed to fighting for a just and diverse America. As refugees and children of refugees, PIVOT members were committed to ensuring that come election-time, their community would not be left on the sidelines or misled with divisive misinformation. With only one month away from the election, PIVOT has launched a rally cry for all-hands-on-deck to mobilize Vietnamese Americans and Asian Americans to register to vote, get out to vote, and vote for Biden and Democrats, and ultimately, for a more just America.

Tuesday, September 22, 2020 -- More than 2.1 million Vietnamese Americans currently call the United States home. Once loyal to the Republican Party, Vietnamese American voters are trending away from Republicans due to the party’s dismal and out-of-touch policies on issues of importance to this former refugee community, such as human rights, education, healthcare, and immigration. That shift may be critical in the upcoming November election given that Asian Americans are projected to be one of the fastest growing racial groups in the American electorate.
