WE BUILD FILIPINO AMERICAN POLITICAL POWER.
Filipino American labor has helped build this country.
At a population of 4.4 million nationwide, Filipinos constitute the second largest Asian American Pacific Islander [AAPI] ethnic group in the United States. In California, Nevada and Texas, we are not only among one of the largest AAPI groups, but one of the fastest growing in the country—and the margin of victory.
Based in these ideals, we advance policies and laws that expand voter access, protect workers from exploitation, defend immigrant rights, prioritize community safety, and increase economic opportunities for all.
Through voter registration, coalition building, and cultural advocacy, join us in building Filipino American civic and political power.
ORGANIZE WITH US DURING FILIPINO AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH!
Tara na! Let’s go! Celebrate Filipino American History Month [FAHM] with us by joining our virtual Get out the Filipino Vote [GOTFV] campaign throughout the month.
This year’s FAHM theme, “Beyond the Margins: Centering Intersectional Filipino American Histories” reminds us that our history is made up of many voices, identities and experiences. It’s time to organize alongside other communities and go beyond our margins to build solidarity.
Join us every Wednesday and Thursday throughout FAHM as we connect with Filipino voters across the country. No previous experience required, we will train you.

ENDORSEMENT
PROCESS
LEAD Filipino AF doesn’t endorse in every race or election cycle, and prioritizes state and local races in the areas we operate: California, Texas and Nevada.
Endorsements are made on a selective basis and are determined by organizational priorities, community impact, available resources and strategic considerations. Candidates and campaigns may submit an endorsement consideration form for review by our Board of Directors. Submission of a request doesn’t guarantee consideration, participation in the endorsement process, an interview, questionnaire or endorsement.
We reserve the right to determine which races, candidates and ballot measures will be considered.
