Our Story
AADC was founded through grassroots organizing and a shared commitment to public life.
The Asian American Democratic Club was founded through grassroots organizing efforts and a shared commitment to increasing Asian American participation in civic and public life.
Over the past decade, AADC has grown from a local volunteer-driven initiative into a national network of community leaders, advocates, professionals, students, and volunteers working together to strengthen democratic engagement and community leadership.
Our members come from diverse backgrounds but share a common belief that civic participation creates stronger communities and a more inclusive democracy.
