80-20 Initiative
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 80-20 Initiative is an Asian American political organisation that seeks to form an Asian American voting bloc affecting the United States presidential election.[1] It derives its name from its goal of uniting 80% of Asian American voters in supporting one presidential candidate. The organisation seeks to empower Asian Americans by endorsing politicians that it believes will work toward equal opportunity for Asian Americans. In addition to its work concerning presidential elections, the 80-20 Initiative has also involved itself in a range issues that affect Asian Americans, such as the glass ceiling, discriminatory media, and pushing for the United States president to appoint Asian American cabinet members.[2]
