On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, SAAPRI and the Pan-Asian Voter Empowerment Coalition (PAVE) are holding our 12th Asian American Action Day at the State Capitol in Springfield, IL!
We’re heading to Springfield because policies are passed through stories and our legislators need to hear about our unique needs as Asian Americans in Illinois. AAA Day is an opportunity for us to speak with our elected officials and directly influence legislation. This year, PAVE is fighting to Fund Immigrant Services, Increase Access to Justice, Establish Cultural Religious Calendar, Fund Inclusive History, and Protect Sanctuary Cities.
We leave at 6am, lobby from 10am-2pm, rally in the Rotunda at 2pm, and return to Chicago at 7pm. Email us by April 20th at saapri@saapri.org if you would like to join us!
