The first national AAPI Digital Leadership weekend will be held on August 8-10, 2014 in Washington, D.C. Participants come from San Diego, CA, to Little Ferry, NJ and represent AAPI advocates that are fighting for immigration, health, and education nationwide.
Kim Rescate is 1 of the 20 emerging online organizers that were picked from all over the country. They were trained by a top-notch team on taking traditional organizing to the Internet, building community, developing a voice, engaging an audience, telling AAPI stories, using smart technology, and applying elegant analytics to advance long-term goals. This is low-cost, high-energy, high-impact curriculum that has never been tailored to the AAPI community before. This leadership weekend helped these 20 organizers develop the skills needed to win through online organizing.
