Earlier today, the AYR Board, Board-in-Training members, and committee leads met to at our March 2025 Leadership Meeting. The leadership team discussed the upcoming Teach AAPI event in New York and upcoming Advocacy Day in April. They also planned some upcoming initiatives regarding the latest events, such as an op-ed campaign where AYR members share their opinions on the latest legislative changes. There will also be a new lesson campaign focused on civics and other similar topics, like critical race theory.
After the last election, the board and leadership team have revised and realigned AYR’s current goals to match the current political climate to three main focuses: education (limiting misinformation, social media outreach, shifting lessons to short-form content, and talking about AAPI figures through the lens of current events), legislative action (immigration, language barriers, and housing issues), and promoting diverse youth voices through various mediums like our Op-ed and Art Corners.
