Mission and programs · 2024

• Voter Education and Mobilization Campaign: AAAF ran a robust, nonpartisan voter education and mobilization campaign targeting Asian American communities across Georgia. The campaign prioritized in-language outreach and reducing barriers to civic participation. Through this effort, we: Delivered over 364,000 pieces of mail to more than 80,000 households, attempted to reach over 10,000 voters through canvassing, resulting in 1,051 conversations at the doors, and attempted over 378,000 calls, with more than 10,000 phone conversations with voters. These efforts helped ensure that voters had access to timely, culturally relevant election information and encouraged increased turnout across the state.

  Expenses $862,540

• Transit Referenda Campaign Gwinnett and Cobb Counties: AAAF led a diverse, multicultural coalition in support of the 2024 SPLOST transit referenda in Gwinnett and Cobb counties. The coalition included Georgia Conservation Voters, Southern Environmental Law Center, CASA, Georgia Youth Justice Coalition, GALEO, Working Families Party, and Cobb for Transit. Together, we executed a bilingual, multimedia campaign to reach voters through: 5 million impressions via social media outreach, 200,000 pieces of direct mail, 165,000 doors knocked, and 400,000 voters contacted by phone. Ultimately, the referenda did not pass, but we helped to educate our communities about the importance of investing in public transit services.

  Expenses $57,605

• Metro Atlanta Changemakers Fellowship Program (MAC): The Metro Atlanta Changemakers (MAC) Fellowship empowers emerging Asian American leaders to design and implement community projects focused on racial justice, immigrant rights, and economic equity. In 2024, fellows launched initiatives such as educational workshops on anti-Asian racism, cultural events celebrating AAPI identity, public discussions on senior healthcare, political education gatherings on banned books, and canvassing campaigns for public transit access. These creative, grassroots projects deepened civic engagement and sparked meaningful dialogue within the community.
