Texas AAPI orgs, including @dfwasianhistory @asiantexans and @saavetx are channeling their trauma and anger from the #AllenTexas mass shooting into a united call for action - they want gun reform, AAPI resources and more - my latest, w/ @NoorAdatia

The AAPI Advocacy Collective put on a great event at the Capitol!
Along with Desi Day of Action, we got to hear from different speakers, watch Bollywood Dancers, and listen to a traditional Korean Drumline!

There are close to 1.9 million Asian Americans living in Texas, and South Asians are the largest ethnic group in that category. Asian Americans are also one of the fastest growing demographic groups in the nation and in Texas.

New: a bill has been filed in Texas to prohibit counties from putting a polling place at a college or university.
It follows another bill filed earlier that would require counties to put a certain # of polling places on college campuses depending on enrollment size.
