Voices of ALLY

Welcome to Voices of ALLY! We are in a critical inflection point. Our AAPI communities face challenges ranging from political apathy to climate change, to deportations, to social media addiction, to bans on affirmative action, and to public health inequities. Because these challenges will be carried on by the current and incoming generations, it is fundamental to elevate their perspectives. 

Thus, Voices of ALLY will provide reflective analyses of issues that affect the AAPI communities, like politics, public health, STEM, and economics. 

We hope that you are ready to hear varying perspectives on important issues and to hear arguments contrary to your beliefs. If we get you to learn something new or even to reflect, we believe that all of this is worth it. 

Our first piece comes from our founder, Oliver Ma. He recounts the story of and the case of Fong Yue Ting, whose deportation grounded in anti-Chinese racism became a source of precedent to modern day deportation practices.  

We are very excited that you are here to help us elevate the political and policy voices of young Asian Americans.
