We're organizing Asian America!
When 18 Million Rising launched in 2012, there were approximately 18 million Asians Americans in the United States, representing nearly 6% of the total population and growing faster than any other racial group. Despite that, Asian Americans were, and remain, one of the most politically under–represented communities.
Our organization was created to leverage the enormous untapped opportunity to educate, organize, and mobilize young Asian Americans. In a time when others ignored and erased our political power, we built an online community to foster belonging, create culture, and build power.
Our online and offline advocacy and cultural campaigns respond to the current political moment and help define the culture of Asian America today.
