Democracy will prevail! PICO California #REPCA

Nothing is decided until all votes are in! #CountEveryVote

Time to celebrate our amazing local election officials, who won’t rest until they deliver results for the American people. True heroes. #EveryVoteCounts

With record-shattering mail-in votes, states are reporting we may not know the results of the election in key states for over a week. Our democracy is founded on the right to vote, and the belief that #EveryVoteCounts. http://ow.ly/pxs350CaJ4M

We are on the cusp of shifting the balance of power in the state, and young people will be the generation to take on corporate greed and systemic racism to build a new future for all Californians. Please remember to vote tomorrow! Thank you to @rysecenter for all of their hard work during this time. #everyvotecounts

Community foundations must continue to contribute to intersectional work that builds power and voices across all Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. EBCF is so proud to be partnered with the New Breath Foundation. Congratulations on this powerful piece, Eddy Zheng!

The right to vote and to have our vote counted is the essential cornerstone of our democracy. It is also a right that we must all work together to protect. Every vote must count! http://ow.ly/UA9N50C6E5H #election2020 #EveryVoteCounts

"This is about more than the symbolism of a holiday. It's about truth-telling and correcting historical misinformation so that we can better reckon with our history so that we can understand how this history shaped our present and use our shared knowledge, no matter how uncomfortable, to forge a truly just and equitable future for all." https://bit.ly/373ASCR #IndigenousPeoplesDay
