Organizations like AAPI Victory Fund exist because we cannot afford to wait. We need people willing to step up, challenge broken systems, and play the long game to build a more just future together.16 May 2026 21:26 +0000at://did:plc:46u2e3pkhdd7efrwqjflapm2/app.bsky.feed.post/3mlyrxcsids2phttps://bsky.app/profile/mayorher.bsky.social/post/3mlyrvli4y22pPolitics never felt ordinary to me. I was born in Laos during war, came to this country as a refugee, and grew up watching my family fight for stability, opportunity, and belonging.
