Happy Filipino American History Month! Many of us do not realize that Filipino American history is made throughout the year in everyday life.

With the recent addition of Tagalog as a language required to be made accessible on voting ballots and voting instructions at NYC polling precincts, the Filipino community is now recognized by the City of New York as a significant and important political force. This is history being made!

Voting rights for Filipinos and other immigrant voters need to be protected. You may not notice, but regular people protect these rights during every election.

The Asian American Legal Defense & Education Fund (@aaldef) has been training and organizing volunteers to protect voting rights at the polls for decades.

Join us for a brief presentation by AALDEF about their Election Protecton initiatives and how you can help on Tuesday, October 20th at 5:30 pm at CBIZ (730 Third Ave., NYC).

This is a FREE event where dinner will be served. Registration is required (use QR code in 1st pic). You need not be a lawyer or Filipino to attend this event or volunteer to protect voting rights. There will be an opportunity for networking before and after the presentation.

Early voting in NYC starts on October 24th, and Election Day is November 3rd. AALDEF needs as many volunteers possible for the upcoming election. So we hope to see you at CBIZ on October 20th for this event.

On behalf of the Filipino American Legal Defense & Education Fund (@faldefinc), we are proud to partner with AALDEF, the Filipino American Lawyers Association of New York (@falanewyork), and CBIZ for this important event and initiative.
